UNSPSC 41116102: Blood bank reagents or solutions

UNSPSC 41116102 Blood bank reagents or solutions is a Commodity code that captures laboratory and clinical reagents purchased by state agencies and county governments, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows material mismatch between the nominal scope and the work actually being bought. Texas A&M University and Pasco County, Florida have posted opportunities for precipitant solutions and copper sulfate compounds respectively — reagents used in research and water treatment rather than blood banking operations. The code's abstract name does not reflect the diversity of chemical reagents state and local procurement offices acquire under this taxonomy tier, nor does it narrow to transfusion medicine or hematology applications exclusively.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include higher-education procurement offices and county government purchasing departments. Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services issued an ITB (TAMU-ITB-26-5055) for precipitant solutions with a bid closing date of July 15, 2026, administered through the AggieBid electronic platform; Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis with proposals due June 26, 2026. Geographic activity includes Texas and Florida based on the two recent postings in this sample. Comprehensive solicitation terms, pricing, contract values, and evaluation criteria were not included in the posted summaries; potential bidders must register on each issuing body's designated procurement platform and monitor for addenda throughout the response window.
