UNSPSC 41131800: Hematology reagents

In this classification, these entries connote the reagents used in association with hematological laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41131800 Hematology reagents is a Class code under which state and local governments procure analytical equipment, consumables, and proficiency testing samples for blood screening and diagnostic testing. Recent solicitations show procurement of hemoglobin analyzers with sample-loading automation, ICP-MS consumables for blood lead screening, and custom-manufactured proficiency testing samples for quality assurance in hematology laboratories. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are the primary repeat buyers under this code, with activity also from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The work involves both capital equipment purchases to replace outdated analyzers and ongoing consumables contracts to support operational testing programs in state and local public health laboratories.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Wisconsin. HHSC and DSHS issued an IFB (HHS0017310) in May 2026 for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader to replace aging equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with a response deadline of May 18, 2026, and historical spend guidance of $45,050 to $80,000. In March 2026, HHSC issued an IFB (HHS0017071) for PerkinElmer ICP-MS consumables and supplies supporting blood lead screening, with 20 line items and a response deadline of March 5, 2026, and historical spend of $20,000 to $30,000. The University of Wisconsin-Madison solicited bids through ShopUW+ (RFB 2026-UWMSN-01287-RFB) in April 2026 for custom-made Hematology/Whole Blood Chemistry Proficiency Testing Samples, with a response deadline of April 21, 2026. HHSC contracts are evaluated on qualifications, delivery performance, and price with best-value discretion; pricing must be firm and fixed, and contracts are subject to appropriations and fund availability with no guaranteed volumes.
