UNSPSC 42181506 Sexual assault determination kits is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure sexual assault forensic evidence collection kits (SAKs) under this code for law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, and forensic laboratories conducting victim and suspect examinations. The kits contain standardized components including swabs, collection envelopes for specific evidence types, evidence seals, instruction forms, and related materials required to meet DNA testing and forensic analysis protocols. Recent solicitations show that states and localities are also bundling SAK procurement with broader sexual assault response services—including forensic examinations by certified nurses or nurse examiners, STD and HIV prophylaxis, photo documentation, and evidence chain-of-custody management. Issuing bodies include state departments of justice and corrections, county public safety divisions, and individual law enforcement agencies. The code sees activity primarily from state-level procurement offices (California Department of Justice, Utah Division of Purchasing, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) alongside county sheriffs' offices.

Recent activity is concentrated in California and Utah, with secondary activity in other western and southern states. The California Department of Justice issued an RFQ (26-0001, due July 1, 2026) for 6,000 customized SAKs over two years to supply ten forensic laboratories across California, with all-or-nothing award to the lowest responsible bidder and evaluation criteria emphasizing price, approach, and qualifications. The State of Utah Division of Purchasing issued an IFB (AK26-20, due February 6, 2026) for BFS Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits under a five-year contract to the lowest responsive bidder, requiring 1,500 kits minimum annual production and eight-week delivery windows. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation solicited Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (S.A.F.E.) services (IFB C5613238-D, due February 18, 2026) across three facilities, bundling examinations with evidence collection under a three-year term and offering twenty-five percent small-business participation requirements with DVBE and small-business preference incentives capped at $50,000 combined. Small deviations from kit specifications often require advance approval; vendors must demonstrate quality control, expiration-date management (typically 24 months minimum), and chain-of-custody compliance with forensic standards such as ISO/IEC 17025.
