UNSPSC 41131903: Manual blood cell counting device

In this classification, Manual blood cell counting device connotes a device used to count red blood cells, white blood cells, or blood platelets. US FDA regulates Manual blood cell counting device under 21 CFR 864.6160 and under FDA product code GKM.

UNSPSC 41131903 Manual blood cell counting device is a Commodity code under which state and local governments are procuring hematology laboratory analyzers, proficiency testing samples, and associated consumables and supplies for blood analysis screening and quality assurance. Recent solicitations show procurement of hemoglobin testing systems with automated sample-loading capability, custom-manufactured proficiency testing samples for quality control, and specialized consumables such as sample probes, nebulizers, and cones for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) instruments used in pediatric blood lead screening. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are repeat buyers under this code, issuing multiple IFBs for laboratory equipment replacement and consumable supply contracts. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has also solicited under the code for custom hematology proficiency testing materials. These procurements are driven by laboratory equipment lifecycle management, regulatory quality assurance requirements, and public health screening programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Wisconsin. The Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017310 on May 1, 2026, seeking one D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System Compact Analyzer with rack loader and accessories to replace aging equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with responses due May 18, 2026; historical spend for similar goods ranged $45,050 to $80,000 in fiscal year 2025. The same agency issued IFB HHS0017071 on February 18, 2026, for PerkinElmer ICP-MS consumables and supplies supporting pediatric blood lead analysis, with bids due March 5, 2026, and historical spend guidance of $20,000 to $30,000. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted RFB 2026-UWMSN-01287-RFB on April 3, 2026, for custom hematology and whole blood chemistry proficiency testing samples, with responses due May 5, 2026. All three solicitations were open competitive procurements with no set-aside restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though Texas HHSC encouraged HUB subcontracting plans.
