UNSPSC 12161503: Reagent kits

UNSPSC 12161503 Reagent kits is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure reagent kits and related diagnostic laboratory supplies under this code for clinical testing, public health operations, forensic analysis, and research applications. Recent solicitations show procurement of culture media, stains, diagnostic test materials, and confirmatory testing reagents for immunoassay screening and chromatographic analysis. Issuing bodies include county public health departments, county community supervision agencies, university laboratories, school districts, and state forensic services offices. The code spans a mix of public health laboratory operations, criminal justice specimen testing, educational laboratory support, and specialized university research procurement, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity.
