UNSPSC 41131901: Bleeding time device

In this classification, Bleeding time device connotes a device used to usually employing two spring-loaded blades, that produces two small incisions in the patient's skin. The length of time required for the bleeding to stop is a measure of the effectiveness of the coagulation system, primarily the platelets. US FDA regulates Bleeding time device under 21 CFR 864.6100 and under FDA product code JCA.

UNSPSC 41131901 Bleeding time device is a Commodity code under which state and local health departments and university research institutions procure laboratory diagnostic equipment and consumables for blood analysis, hemoglobin testing, and proficiency quality assurance. Recent opportunities show procurement of complete hemoglobin testing systems (ion-exchange HPLC analyzers with automated sample loading), ICP-MS consumables and supplies for pediatric blood lead screening, and custom-manufactured proficiency testing samples for hematology and chemistry applications. Issuing bodies include state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services) and university health science facilities (University of Wisconsin-Madison), with solicitations structured as IFBs and RFBs for equipment replacement and consumable replenishment.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two major solicitations in early 2026: an IFB (HHS0017071, due March 5, 2026) for PerkinElmer ICP-MS consumables and supplies including probes, filters, nebulizers, and solutions for blood lead analysis, with historical spend of $20,000 to $30,000; and an IFB (HHS0017310, due May 18, 2026) for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System Compact Analyzer with rack loader for the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with historical spend of $45,050 to $80,000. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an RFB (2026-UWMSN-01287-RFB, due April 21, 2026) for custom-made hematology and whole blood chemistry proficiency testing samples. All three solicitations are open competitive procurements with no set-aside designations; Texas HHSC solicitations allow HUB subcontracting plans but do not require them. Award decisions are based on best value rather than lowest price, with firm fixed pricing required and no incumbent vendors identified in any of the three opportunities.
