UNSPSC 41121715: Specimen transport tube or aliquot tube

Tube used for the aliquoting of urine, plasma, serum, whole blood, cerebrospinal fluid or body fluid for the purpose of transport or storage in a tube other than the primary collection tube

UNSPSC 41121715 Specimen transport tube or aliquot tube is a Commodity code for sterile tubes and containers used by state and local health departments, public laboratories, and medical facilities to collect, store, and transport biological specimens for diagnostic testing. State and local governments procure these items as consumables for routine clinical and epidemiological laboratory work, including blood draws, urinalysis, microbial culture transport, and COVID-19 or other communicable-disease screening programs. The tubes are typically ordered in bulk under standing supply contracts or blanket purchase agreements and represent recurring operational spend rather than project-specific procurement.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, so current market activity under UNSPSC 41121715 cannot be characterized by issuing-body type, geographic spread, or representative solicitations at this time.
