UNSPSC 41131601: Blood bank supplies

In this classification, Blood bank supplies are general purpose devices intended for in vitro use in blood banking. This generic type of device includes products such as blood bank pipettes, blood grouping slides, blood typing tubes, blood typing racks, and cold packs for antisera reagents. US FDA regulates Blood bank supplies under 21 CFR 864.9050 and under FDA product code KSS.

UNSPSC 41131601 Blood bank supplies, a Commodity code, covers blood transfusion equipment, warmer systems, consumable transfusion bags, and related medical supplies for emergency medical services and healthcare facility operations. State and local governments procuring under this code include state health departments and emergency medical services boards, county fire rescue departments, and healthcare delivery organizations. The scope extends to specialized equipment meeting sterilization, safety, and performance standards for transfusion procedures across medical transport and clinical settings, along with consumable materials and accessories required for operational compliance.

Recent activity shows California's Emergency Medical Services Board (EMSB) posting an RFB for blood transfusion equipment including Qinflow Warrior Blood Warmer systems and consumable bags under Measure B funding (due September 9, 2026), while Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations (due July 24, 2026, estimated contract value $765,679.84). California and Florida dominate recent sourcing under this code. The EMSB opportunity requires Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification and mandates submission of all designated forms including non-collusion and equal employment opportunity documentation; the Hillsborough County procurement requires Drug-Free Workplace Certification and compliance with Florida Statute 287.087, with delivery to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. Both solicitations emphasize responsive bidding requirements, technical specification compliance, and best-value award criteria.
