UNSPSC 41132007: Human whole blood

Human blood drawn directly from the body from which none of the components, such as plasma or platelets, has been removed. Whole blood is given through donation from one human to be administered to one of more recipients. Whole blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets suspended in a plasma.

UNSPSC 41132007 Human whole blood is a Commodity code encompassing blood products and plasma supplies for medical and research use. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows a mismatch between the nominal scope—human whole blood for clinical transfusion or medical testing—and what state and local bodies are actually procuring. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's March 2026 RFB for animal blood and plasma products, while tagged under this code, lies outside the human-blood domain and suggests the code may capture a broader spectrum of blood-product procurement than its name indicates. State and local health systems, university research facilities, and medical centers appear as the primary issuing bodies when they need blood supplies, though the recent-opportunities block contains only a single posted solicitation.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted RFB 2026-UWMSN-01299-RFB on March 18, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, seeking animal blood and plasma products through the ShopUW+ procurement portal. Wisconsin is the only state represented in the recent-opportunities record. Beyond this single entry, the source provides no additional recent solicitations, issuing-body diversity, geographic spread, or detail on the typical dollar volumes, contract terms, or vendor mix in human whole blood procurement at the state and local level. Interested vendors should access complete solicitation documents through the online portal and direct technical questions to Eric Thompson at ejthompson2@wisc.edu.
