UNSPSC 41131506: Micro sedimentation centrifuge

In this classification, a amicrosedimentation centrifuge is a device used to sediment red cells for the microsedimentation rate test. US FDA regulates Microsedimentation centrifuge under 21 CFR 864.5350 and under FDA product code GHK.

UNSPSC 41131506 Micro sedimentation centrifuge (Commodity) names laboratory analytical equipment, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are actually purchasing hemoglobin testing systems, hematology proficiency testing samples, and ICP-MS consumables — clinical laboratory instruments and supplies for blood analysis and quality assurance in public health settings. State health departments and research institutions issue these procurements, chiefly through IFBs and RFBs, with firm-fixed pricing and best-value evaluation criteria. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) appear as repeat buyers, soliciting both capital equipment replacements and consumables to support ongoing clinical testing operations, particularly for hemoglobin screening and lead analysis programs.

Activity centers in Texas and Wisconsin. The Texas HHSC issued an IFB (HHS0017310) in May 2026 for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader to replace equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with a response deadline of May 18, 2026 at 10:30 AM Central Time; historical spend for similar goods ranged from $45,050 to $80,000 in fiscal year 2025. In March 2026, the same agency released an IFB (HHS0017071) for PerkinElmer ICP-MS consumables and supplies used in pediatric blood lead screening, with 20 line items and a March 5, 2026 bid deadline. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted an RFB (2026-UWMSN-01287-RFB) on April 3, 2026 for custom-made Hematology/Whole Blood Chemistry Proficiency Testing Samples, with an April 21, 2026 submission deadline through the ShopUW+ portal. None of these solicitations carried set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though Texas procurements encouraged HUB subcontracting plans. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in state public health laboratory operations and academic research settings.
