UNSPSC 41116125: Histology quality controls or calibrators or standards

UNSPSC 41116125 Histology quality controls or calibrators or standards is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure histology laboratory services, including tissue processing, staining, analysis, and quality control support for postmortem and clinical specimens. The solicitations show that buyers are acquiring complete histology service delivery—tissue embedding, cutting, application of routine and specialized stains (hematoxylin and eosin, acid-fast bacilli, Gram stain, Wright-Giemsa, and Masson's trichrome), histological reports, chain of custody documentation, and expert consultation—rather than standalone calibration or reference materials. Issuing bodies span state agencies (California, Georgia) and county medical examiner offices (Brevard County), with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation appearing twice in the recent record, suggesting repeat procurement activity for histology services at the state investigative level.

Recent solicitation activity appears in California, Georgia, and Florida. The State of California issued RFB Solicitation RFB-IS-26200981 on May 19, 2026, with a June 4, 2026 response deadline and a CBE certification requirement; the State of Georgia Bureau of Investigation posted two eRFQs within two weeks—Solicitation 47100GBI0000203 (Histology Evaluation Services) on April 29, 2026, due May 8, 2026, and Solicitation 47100GBI0000204 (Histology Services) on May 12, 2026, due May 15, 2026; and Brevard County Purchasing Services solicited RFQ 72607 (Histology Lab Services) through its Medical Examiner's Office on April 6, 2026, due April 7, 2026, specifying Florida state certification, College of American Pathologists accreditation, active proficiency testing, personnel holding HT(ASCP) or HTL(ASCP) credentials, and minimum insurance thresholds ($1 million general and professional liability, $2 million auto, $5 million cyber). The Brevard County contract carries a five-year term with evaluation on a 100-point scale addressing organizational profile, facilities, experience, and accreditations.
