UNSPSC 41116120: Hematology test kits or supplies

UNSPSC 41116120 Hematology test kits or supplies is a Commodity code that covers proficiency testing samples and laboratory quality-assurance materials used in hematology and clinical chemistry testing—specifically, custom-manufactured samples designed to validate the accuracy and reliability of blood and chemistry analyzers in clinical and research laboratory settings. State and local government buyers under this code include higher-education institutions (research and teaching laboratories), municipal water and wastewater treatment districts conducting internal laboratory testing, and law enforcement agencies requiring certified phlebotomy support and specimen handling. The University of Wisconsin-Madison and municipal utilities purchasing water-quality testing samples represent the primary issuing bodies visible in recent activity, though the code's application spans academic research facilities and public health laboratory operations requiring quality-control and proficiency-testing materials.

Recent opportunities cluster in Wisconsin and New Mexico. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted two competitive bids in early 2026: a Request for Bids (RFB) for Hematology/Whole Blood Chemistry Custom Made Proficiency Testing Samples (solicitation 2026UWMSN01287RFB, due May 5, 2026) and a separate RFB for Chemistry-Routine and Specialties Testing Samples (solicitation 2026UWMSN01264RFB, due April 3, 2026), both submitted through the ShopUW+ procurement portal. The Albuquerque Police Department issued a Request for Bids (RFB-2025-748-POL-DZ) in January 2026 for on-call phlebotomy technician services to support blood draw operations across Bernalillo County and the City of Albuquerque, anticipating approximately 300 service calls annually with an initial three-year term renewable for up to two additional one-year periods. No set-asides, disadvantaged-business requirements, or incumbent vendors are identified in the posted solicitations. Award values and detailed budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation.
