UNSPSC 41151629: Plasma viscometer for clinical use

In this classification Aaplasma viscometer for clinical use is a device intended to measure the viscosity of plasma by determining the time period required for the plasma to flow a measured distance through a calibrated glass tube. Measurements obtained by this device are used to monitor changes in the amount of solids present in plasma in various disorders US FDA regulates Plasma viscometer for clinical use under 21 CFR 862.2920 and under FDA product code JJL.

UNSPSC 41151629 Plasma viscometer for clinical use is a Commodity code that sees virtually no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes laboratory analytical instruments for measuring blood plasma viscosity in clinical settings, but the recent state-local opportunities tagged to this code bear no relationship to that scope. Recent solicitations include Mississippi State University's sealed bid for timeclock equipment, the City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase for hydrogen generator supplies, Mississippi State University's sole-source requests for fire alarm system components and a specialized string spectrometer for aerial application research, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of COLILERT reagents and water bottles for bacteriological testing. None of these are plasma viscometers or clinical laboratory instruments. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual recent activity suggests either consistent miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code itself no longer maps to current procurement practice.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect where the mistagged opportunities originated rather than legitimate plasma-viscometer activity: Mississippi State University dominates the recent record with multiple sole-source procurements, followed by the City of Philadelphia, Texas HHSC, and the State of Oregon. State and local procurement activity does not support business development focus on this code at present; firms pursuing clinical laboratory instrumentation should validate category assignment with customer procurement offices directly rather than rely on UNSPSC coding in current notices.
