UNSPSC 41131903 Manual blood cell counting device is a Commodity code that reflects state and local public health laboratory procurement for specialized hematology and hemoglobin analysis equipment and associated consumables. State and local governments use this code to acquire blood testing systems, automated or semi-automated laboratory analyzers for hemoglobin characterization, rack loaders for sample management, and supporting reagents and media needed to operate hematology screening and diagnostic protocols. The issuing bodies are state health departments and public health agencies — specifically state departments of public health and health and human services commissions — that operate centralized laboratory facilities serving statewide screening, diagnostic, and surveillance functions.

Recent activity centers in Texas and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued an IFB (solicitation HHS0017310, due May 18, 2026) for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader, a specialized ion-exchange HPLC analyzer for HbA1c and fetal screening applications, with supporting power cords and automated sample-loading accessories; historical spending for similar goods ranged from $45,050 to $80,000 in fiscal year 2025. The State of California Department of Public Health posted an RFB (solicitation RFBIS27200117, due September 4, 2026) for laboratory supplies, culture media, and reagents to support ongoing public health laboratory operations, with California's CBE set-aside requirements for certified small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses.
