UNSPSC 41132004: Fresh frozen plasma

Plasma is the yellowish liquid portion of whole blood that contains all clotting factors.. It is administered to treat bleeding disorders. Plasma extracted within 18 hours of donation is "fresh", but is then frozen to allow a 12 month shelf life.

UNSPSC 41132004 Fresh frozen plasma, a Commodity code, encompasses blood and plasma products that state and local institutions procure for medical, research, and laboratory use. The code captures consumable blood derivatives and plasma components sourced from animal or human donors, used in transfusion services, clinical diagnostics, research protocols, and therapeutic applications across hospitals, university research centers, and public health laboratories. State and local buyers under this code include universities with medical or veterinary research programs, public hospital systems, and academic medical centers that operate procurement functions independently or through centralized purchasing vehicles.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted a Request for Bids (RFB 2026-UWMSN-01299-RFB) on March 18, 2026, for animal blood and plasma products with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, via the ShopUW+ procurement portal. The solicitation notice does not disclose contract value, specific product specifications, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information, requiring interested vendors to access the full bid documents through the online portal. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Upper Midwest, with the University of Wisconsin as a visible institutional buyer. The source provides no additional recent opportunities under this code, and the single opportunity identified targets animal-derived products rather than human blood products, suggesting the code may see limited state and local procurement activity or that most human plasma procurement routes through hospital group purchasing organizations or national blood bank networks not captured in this dataset.
