UNSPSC 41131606: Automated blood grouping and antibody test system

In this classification, an automated blood grouping and antibody test system is a device used to group erythrocytes (red blood cells) and to detect antibodies to blood group antigens. US FDA regulates Automated blood grouping and antibody test system under 21 CFR 864.9175 and under FDA product code KSZ.

UNSPSC 41131606 Automated blood grouping and antibody test system is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement covers blood transfusion equipment and related consumables — specifically blood warmers, specialized infusion bags, and medical transport containers — procured for emergency medical services and hospital transfusion operations. The State of California, through its Emergency Medical Services Board, and county governments appear as the principal issuing bodies under this code. Work solicited includes specification and supply of equipment meeting technical performance standards for emergency medical transport and transfusion procedures, with vendors required to meet compliance documentation (Certified Business Enterprise certification, non-collusion certifications, equal employment opportunity compliance) and delivery performance standards.

The California Emergency Medical Services Board posted a blood transfusion equipment solicitation (RFBIS27200126) due September 9, 2026, specifying Qinflow Warrior Blood Warmer systems, associated consumable bags, and T-SPEC Meret Bag G2 Pro X medical transport bags under Measure B funding across EMSB facilities throughout California. However, a second recent posting — Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026 — solicited janitorial and operational supplies for fire rescue operations unrelated to blood grouping or transfusion equipment, suggesting potential UNSPSC classification misalignment in state and local systems. The code shows limited visible recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope; the California opportunity represents the primary current blood transfusion equipment procurement signal.
