UNSPSC 41115841: Automated blood culture system

Automated system for incubating and processing blood cultures

UNSPSC 41115841 Automated blood culture system is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans blood transfusion and emergency medical equipment rather than narrowly automated culture diagnostics. The code is being solicited by state-level emergency medical services boards and county public safety departments for specialized medical transport and transfusion equipment meeting defined technical performance and safety standards. Blood warmer systems, associated consumable bags, and specialized transport containers make up the equipment scope under active procurement. Issuing bodies include specialized state agencies such as California's Emergency Medical Services Board and county governments operating large public safety fleets.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. The California Emergency Medical Services Board posted ITB RFBIS27200126 on August 24, 2026, requesting bids for Qinflow Warrior Blood Warmer systems and T-SPEC Meret transport bags under Measure B emergency medical services funding, with response due September 9, 2026; bidders must hold Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification and submit non-collusion certifications and equal employment opportunity compliance forms to be considered responsive. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies servicing 47 fire stations with estimated annual contract value of $765,679.84 and response due July 24, 2026, though this opportunity appears tangential to the automated blood culture system code classification. The California opportunity aligns directly with the code's scope; the Hillsborough County solicitation represents a mismatch in UNSPSC coding rather than true activity under this Commodity.
