UNSPSC 41131603: Vacuum-assisted blood collection system

In this classification, a vacuum-assisted blood collection system is a device intended for medical purposes that uses a vacuum to draw blood for subsequent reinfusion. US FDA regulates Vacuum-assisted blood collection system under 21 CFR 864.9125 and under FDA product code KST.

UNSPSC 41131603 Vacuum-assisted blood collection system is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to blood collection supplies. The three most recent solicitations tracked under this code—Hillsborough County's janitorial and operational supplies for fire rescue (ITB, due July 24, 2026), Klein Independent School District's career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources (RFP, due June 5, 2026), and the City of Tucson's emergency freezer and refrigerator truck rental services (RFQ, due June 20, 2025)—are unrelated to phlebotomy equipment or supplies. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of the three opportunities spans Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Arizona (City of Tucson), but these represent misclassified solicitations rather than authentic demand under the code. Buyers pursuing contracts under UNSPSC 41131603 should verify directly with issuing bodies whether vacuum-assisted blood collection systems are actually being procured, as the recent posting history does not reflect genuine market activity for the commodity as defined.
