UNSPSC 41116121: Hematology reagents or solutions or stains

UNSPSC 41116121 Hematology reagents or solutions or stains is a Commodity code covering laboratory supplies and consumables that state and local health and public health agencies procure for ongoing diagnostic and screening operations. State and local buyers under this code include state public health departments and state health and human services agencies operating centralized laboratory facilities. The work spans culture media, hemoglobin testing reagents, and related laboratory consumables needed to support hematology and pathogen-detection functions within public health laboratory networks. Procurement is driven by equipment replacement cycles, reagent depletion, and the need to maintain compliance with technical and sterility standards required for diagnostic accuracy and public health reporting.

The California Department of Public Health and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission represent recent activity. California posted an RFB for public health laboratory supplies and media (RFB-IS-27200117-1, due September 4, 2026) with CBE set-asides for certified small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses, structured as itemized unit pricing with ongoing supply and renewal options. Texas HHSC and the Department of State Health Services issued an IFB (HHS0017310, due May 18, 2026) for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader and accessories to replace equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with firm fixed pricing and a contract term through August 31, 2026, plus an optional one-year extension; historical spending for similar goods in fiscal year 2025 ranged from $45,050 to $80,000. Activity is concentrated in California and Texas, with procurement following standard state purchasing regulations and requiring compliance with suspension and debarment certification, E-Verify, and state-specific statutory requirements on firearms and energy company boycotts.
