UNSPSC 12352208: Nucleic acids

UNSPSC 12352208 Nucleic acids is a Commodity code under which state and local governments and higher-education institutions procure biological and chemical samples used in laboratory testing, research, and educational applications. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's April 2026 request for bids for urinalysis samples and related procedural materials illustrates the practical scope: institutions buy prepared samples, reagents, and related consumables for diagnostic, analytical, and instructional use in medical, clinical, and research settings rather than finished nucleic-acid products in their pharmaceutical or therapeutic form.

The recent-opportunities block contains a single relevant solicitation from a higher-education institution. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued RFB 2026UWMSN01304RFB on April 1, 2026, with a bid deadline of May 8, 2026, seeking vendors to supply urinalysis samples and associated procedural materials through the ShopUW+ cooperative purchasing vehicle. No award value, incumbent vendor, set-aside designation, or geographic limitation appears in the posting. Beyond this single recent entry, the source provides no additional opportunities, issuing-body mix, or geographic concentration data to characterize the code's broader state and local activity.
