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 is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—a janitorial and operational supplies ITB for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, a career technical education and advanced academics RFP for Klein Independent School District, and an emergency refrigerator truck rental RFQ for the City of Tucson—do not align with blood bank supplies procurement. None involve blood collection, processing, testing, storage, or transfusion-related materials or equipment. The janitorial opportunity covers consumables for 47 fire stations; the CTE opportunity addresses educational resources and equipment across 17 program areas; the refrigerator trucks are for criminal evidence storage. The code appears inactive in state and local markets or systematically mistagged in recent postings.

No state and local governments have posted solicitations for blood bank supplies under UNSPSC 41131601 in the recent-opportunities dataset. Without concrete opportunities, issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or representative RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity to characterize, this code does not present a viable pursuit opportunity at this time. Blood bank supply procurement may flow through different UNSPSC codes, direct vendor relationships with hospital systems and blood centers, or cooperative purchasing arrangements not surfaced in recent state and local notice activity.
