UNSPSC 41123200: Preserved specimens and supplies

UNSPSC 41123200 Preserved specimens and supplies is a Class code encompassing laboratory specimen collection supplies, testing materials, and related consumables used in correctional health screening and research applications. State and local governments under this code procure specimen containers, collection kits, testing supplies, and consumables supporting drug screening, phlebotomy, and live-cell laboratory work. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county community supervision and corrections agencies, and university research institutes acquiring supplies or equipment for specimen handling and analysis.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Oregon. Marion County, Oregon issued an ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy for Adults in Custody (response due July 24, 2026), encompassing specimen collection supplies and courier services. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department in Texas solicited an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (response due July 23, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years plus three optional one-year renewals, requiring SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP lab certification and supporting approximately 25,031 annual tests across five-panel and six-panel screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation. NC State University's Plants for Human Health Institute issued an RFQ for an Automated Live-Cell Imaging System for controlled-environment use (response due March 30, 2026), though this procurement represents equipment rather than supplies and sits somewhat outside the code's nominal scope of preserved specimens and consumables.
