UNSPSC 41116216: Blood lead test monitor or meter

Monitors or meters ultized for point of care whole blood lead analysis

UNSPSC 41116216 Blood lead test monitor or meter is a Commodity code that covers handheld and laboratory instruments used to measure lead levels in blood samples — a diagnostic tool primarily acquired by public health departments, clinics, and environmental health programs within state and local government. State and local procurement under this code reflects ongoing compliance with federal lead-exposure regulations and public health screening requirements, particularly in jurisdictions with older housing stock or known lead-contamination risks. The recent opportunities in the source, however, show limited direct activity: a Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing vehicle solicitation for physical health products and related services (RFP 26RFP102026, due October 20, 2026) and a separate Sourcewell law enforcement equipment solicitation do not explicitly name blood lead testing instruments as line items or detailed scope elements, suggesting the code may be underutilized in state and local procurement advertising or mapped inconsistently across issuing bodies.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the visible repeat buyer in the recent record, issuing cooperative-purchasing agreements that span Participating Entities across multiple states. The geographic reach implied by Sourcewell's structure includes Minnesota and Washington (named explicitly in the law enforcement solicitation), along with participating jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, though the blood lead monitor code shows no state-specific concentration in the source material. The source does not identify recent standalone solicitations from county health departments, state environmental agencies, or municipalities specifically requesting blood lead testing equipment by this code; the two named opportunities are broad physical health and law enforcement vehicles rather than dedicated procurements for lead-testing instruments. Business development professionals should verify whether issuing bodies in target markets tag lead-testing opportunities under this commodity code or under alternative health-equipment classifications, and whether cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell represent the primary contracting pathway for this equipment category.
