UNSPSC 41131515: Blood volume measuring device

In this classification, a blood volume measuring device is a manual, semi automated, or automated system that is used to calculate the red cell mass, plasma volume, and total blood volume. US FDA regulates Blood volume measuring device under 21 CFR 864.5950 and under FDA product code JWO.

UNSPSC 41131515 Blood volume measuring device is a Commodity code representing laboratory diagnostic equipment and consumables that state and local public health agencies and health departments procure to support clinical laboratory operations. Recent solicitations show procurement spanning both finished diagnostic instruments—such as hemoglobin testing systems with automated sample handling—and consumable laboratory media and reagents necessary for ongoing culture and analysis work. State issuing bodies include departments of public health and health and human services commissions operating regional and statewide laboratory infrastructure. The scope of work encompasses ion-exchange HPLC analyzers designed for hemoglobin-binding analysis in HbA1c and fetal screening applications, together with ancillary equipment such as sample rack loaders, as well as culture media, growth media, and laboratory consumables supporting blood analysis protocols. Procurement is typically structured on a firm-fixed-price basis with itemized unit pricing for consumables and equipment-specific pricing for instruments, with technical specifications addressing compatibility with existing laboratory protocols, sterility, growth characteristics, and performance standards.

Texas and California account for the most recent activity under the code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued an IFB (HHS0017310) due May 18, 2026, for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System Compact Analyzer with Rack Loader to replace equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen; historical spending guidance for similar goods ranged from $45,050 to $80,000 in fiscal year 2025. The California Department of Public Health posted an RFB (RFBIS27200117) due September 4, 2026, for public health laboratory supplies and media with CBE set-asides for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. Both solicitations emphasize detailed technical and quality compliance with no incumbent vendors identified, and both reserve evaluation discretion beyond lowest price.
