UNSPSC 41131902 Capillary blood collection tube is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure laboratory consumables, testing systems, and quality assurance materials for hematology, blood chemistry, and screening applications. Recent solicitations show state health agencies and academic research institutions buying hemoglobin testing analyzers with automated sample-loading capability, custom proficiency testing samples for laboratory quality assurance, and specialized consumables such as ion-exchange HPLC system components and ICP-MS instrument supplies for pediatric lead screening and other blood-based diagnostics. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) emerge as repeat active buyers in this space, alongside academic institutions such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Issuing bodies include state health departments and university procurement offices, each addressing either replacement of aging laboratory equipment or routine consumables replenishment.

Texas dominates recent posting activity, with HHSC issuing two IFBs in the first quarter of 2026 — one in March for PerkinElmer ICP-MS consumables and supplies (IFB HHS0017071, due March 5, 2026) and a second in May for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader (IFB HHS0017310, due May 18, 2026) to replace equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an RFB in April for custom Hematology/Whole Blood Chemistry Proficiency Testing Samples (ShopUW+ Event 2026-UWMSN-01287-RFB, due May 5, 2026). Historical spend data from HHSC for similar goods ranges from $20,000 to $30,000 in ICP-MS consumables and $45,050 to $80,000 for hemoglobin testing equipment, though these figures represent fiscal year 2025 guidelines only with no guaranteed volume. HHSC reserves award authority to best value rather than lowest price and permits price adjustments at its discretion using Consumer Price Index formulas. No set-aside designations specific to disadvantaged enterprises appear in these solicitations, though HUB subcontracting plans are encouraged.
