UNSPSC 41104931: Serum separator tube filter

Tube style filter that is inserted into a blood collection tube specimen which has been centrifuged in order to separate plasma or serum from the cellular components of that blood

UNSPSC 41104931 Serum separator tube filter is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly tied to its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities identified under this code—fire and rescue equipment maintenance (Fulton County, Georgia IFB), laboratory testing services (City of Palm Bay, Florida ITB), and geotech filter capsules for water testing (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency small purchase)—represent tangential or incidental use of filtration products rather than procurement of serum separator tubes themselves. The code shows fragmented issuing-body participation across county emergency services, municipal utilities, and state environmental agencies, with no evident pattern of repeat buyers or sustained demand for the commodity as named.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and Illinois with no geographic concentration. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's March 2026 procurement of 2,350 disposable geotech filter capsules (0.45-micrometer pore size) closed March 16, 2026, and represents the closest match to filtration supplies; the City of Palm Bay's March 2026 ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services (188 line items across water, wastewater, and pretreatment testing) involved ancillary filtration work but centered on analytical testing rather than filter procurement; and Fulton County's July 2026 IFB for fire and rescue equipment included breathing apparatus maintenance but not serum separator tubes. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity name, and business development professionals should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actually sourcing serum separator tubes under this code or whether the classification reflects archived or mismatched historical tagging.
