UNSPSC 41131904: Hematocrit measuring device

In this classification, Hematocrit measuring device connotes a system consisting of instruments, tubes, racks, and a sealer and a holder. The device is used to measure the packed red cell volume in blood to determine whether the patient's total red cell volume is normal or abnormal. Abnormal states include anemia (an abnormally low total red cell volume) and erythrocytosis (an abnormally high total red cell mass). The packed red cell volume is produced by centrifuging a given volume of blood. US FDA regulates Hematocrit measuring device under 21 CFR 864.6400 and under FDA product code JPI.

UNSPSC 41131904 Hematocrit measuring device is a Commodity code under which state and local health departments procure hemoglobin and hematocrit diagnostic equipment and laboratory supplies necessary for clinical and public health laboratory operations. Recent solicitations show public health agencies buying both finished diagnostic analyzers designed for automated hemoglobin and HbA1c testing and the consumable media and reagents those systems require. The issuing bodies are state-level health departments and public health laboratories operating directly or through centralized procurement offices.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB HHS0017310) in May 2026 for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader to replace end-of-life equipment at the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with a response deadline of May 18, 2026. The California Department of Public Health posted RFB-IS-27200117-1 on August 30, 2026 requesting bids for public health laboratory supplies and media, including culture media and reagents supporting laboratory operations statewide, with a September 4, 2026 deadline and set-asides for California Certified Business Enterprises, small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California; the Texas procurement carries historical spending guidance of $45,050 to $80,000 for fiscal year 2025 and firm fixed pricing, while the California solicitation uses itemized unit-basis pricing and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
