UNSPSC 41116122: Hematology quality controls or calibrators or standards

UNSPSC 41116122 Hematology quality controls or calibrators or standards (Commodity) encompasses laboratory reagents, media, and testing equipment used by public health and clinical laboratory systems to perform hemoglobin analysis and related hematology assays. State and local governments procure both consumable supplies—culture media, reagents, and quality control materials—and specialized analyzers and ancillary equipment to support ongoing laboratory operations and replacement of aging diagnostic instruments. The buying bodies include state public health departments and health and human services agencies operating centralized or regional laboratory networks.

The code sees recent activity in California and Texas. The California Department of Public Health issued an RFB in August 2026 (RFBIS27200117, response due September 4, 2026) for public health laboratory supplies and media under a Certified Business Enterprise set-aside framework for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued an IFB in May 2026 (HHS0017310, response due May 18, 2026) for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader and associated power cords for replacement equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen; historical spending for similar goods ranged from $45,050 to $80,000 in fiscal year 2025. The Texas procurement required firm-fixed pricing with no substitutions and evaluation on bidder qualifications, performance capability, and price, with HUB subcontracting plans encouraged but not required.
