UNSPSC 42181514: Hemoglobin photometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a photometer to measure the amount of hemoglobin in a specimen in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Hemoglobin photometers under 21 CFR 864.5620 and under FDA product code PHP. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181514 Hemoglobin photometers is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The single opportunity in the record is a City of Palm Bay, Florida laboratory testing services ITB (19-ITB-26) that encompasses a broad scope of water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment analyses across multiple facilities and service lines—188 line items spanning water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment testing, and courier services. While the ITB scope includes laboratory analytical work, the opportunity does not isolate or emphasize hemoglobin photometry as a discrete service or equipment category; the code assignment appears to reflect a broader laboratory testing services procurement rather than a specific procurement for hemoglobin photometers or hemoglobin-specific measurement equipment.

The City of Palm Bay ITB closed on March 17, 2026, with three bids received ranging from $80,872 (Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc.) to $107,946.10 (Pace Analytical Services, LLC). Respondents required Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification Program certifications, NELAP accreditation, and five years' minimum experience; 75 percent of analytical work had to be performed in a primary laboratory within one hundred miles of the City's North Regional Campus. The initial contract term was twelve months with four optional twelve-month renewal periods. Historical spending on these laboratory services was $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025. The code record reflects no other recent state or local hemoglobin-photometer-specific procurements, suggesting that this commodity line sees little direct solicitation activity at the state and local level or is typically bundled into broader laboratory service contracts where it does not appear as a line-item category.
