UNSPSC 41116008: Hematology analyzer reagents

UNSPSC 41116008 Hematology analyzer reagents is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory supplies and consumables for hematology testing systems, including both finished goods (such as ion-exchange HPLC analyzers for hemoglobin and HbA1c screening) and specialized reagents, proficiency-testing samples, and instrument consumables (such as ICP-MS probes, filters, cones, nebulizers, and solutions for blood lead analysis). State and local buyers under this code include state health departments and their laboratory divisions, university research and clinical laboratories, and specialized public health screening programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services have posted multiple competitive solicitations for hematology-related equipment and supplies in recent months, indicating sustained procurement activity for both capital replacements and consumables.

Recent activity spans Texas and Wisconsin. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017310 (posted May 18, 2026, response due May 18, 2026) for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System Compact Analyzer with rack loader to replace aging laboratory equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with firm fixed pricing and an anticipated contract term through August 31, 2026. The same Texas agency solicited IFB HHS0017071 (posted March 19, 2026, response due March 5, 2026) for PerkinElmer ICP-MS consumables and supplies across 20 line items for pediatric blood lead screening, with historical spend guidance of $20,000 to $30,000. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued RFB 2026-UWMSN-01287 (posted April 3, 2026, response due May 5, 2026) for custom-manufactured hematology and whole blood chemistry proficiency testing samples through the ShopUW+ portal. All three solicitations are open competitive procurements with no set-aside restrictions. Historical spending guidance for similar Texas procurements ranges from $45,050 to $80,000 annually, though no volume guarantees are provided to awarded vendors.
