Purchase of consumables and reagents required for the Arbovirus testing of Mosquito and Equine specimens received by the Arbovirus/Entomology team…

Fisher Scientific Company LLC was awarded a contract by the State of Texas (Contract Number: HHSTX-6-0000397540) effective March 17, 2026, to supply consumables and reagents for arbovirus testing operations. The procured items fall under the Laboratory Consumables and Chemicals commodity classification (UNSPSC 41121822). These materials are essential to the Arbovirus/Entomology team's capability to conduct diagnostic testing on mosquito and equine specimens submitted by jurisdictions throughout Texas.

The provision of these laboratory consumables and reagents directly supports the state's vector control initiatives across multiple jurisdictions. Without access to the required testing materials, the Arbovirus/Entomology team would be unable to perform necessary diagnostics, thereby compromising vector control efforts statewide. Specific details regarding contract value, period of performance duration, and place of performance location were not disclosed in the available contract documentation.
