UNSPSC 42181506 Sexual assault determination kits, a Commodity code, covers forensic evidence collection kits used by law enforcement, medical examiners, and state crime laboratories to document and preserve evidence from sexual assault victims. State and local governments procure these kits primarily through law enforcement agencies, state attorneys general offices, and forensic laboratories; purchasing patterns show both small-quantity standing orders from individual jurisdictions and larger multi-unit buys from statewide systems. Recent solicitations reveal kits engineered to meet chain-of-custody and evidentiary standards, including swabs, labeled evidence envelopes, barcode tracking, and tamper-evident packaging, with bidders required to demonstrate compliance with forensic accreditation standards (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 or equivalent state standards) and prior experience supplying law enforcement or healthcare entities.

The code shows activity across multiple states with no single dominant jurisdiction. The Maryland Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy solicited 2,000 kits with proposals due October 20, 2026, requiring detailed product specifications and certifications of evidentiary compliance. The California Department of Justice requested customized kits for a two-year standing order covering ten forensic laboratories statewide, with quotes due June 16, 2026 and small-business preference applied. Utah's Division of Purchasing conducted an IFB for buccal swab collection kits with proposals due September 16, 2026 for a five-year contract term. Pinellas County, Florida procured certified reference materials (drug standards) for forensic validation through an informal quote process. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple participating entities, though the scope description does not clearly distinguish whether kits fall within that solicitation's footprint. These opportunities signal steady demand from state crime laboratories and local law enforcement, with price sensitivity favoring lowest-cost responsive bidders and SBE or DVBE incentives appearing where state or local preference statutes apply.
