UNSPSC 41104819: Cell harvester

A type of device that is manufactured to send the chemicals and cells concurrently to the filter to obtain the cells in mass by filtering the cell only and passing the chemicals when extracting the cell for culturing for certain period by blending the chemical with the isotope and the cell.

UNSPSC 41104819 Cell harvester (Commodity) covers laboratory reagents, assay components, and sample-preparation materials used in surveillance and diagnostic testing workflows. Recent state and local solicitations under this code cluster heavily around wastewater and genomic surveillance programs, where the work spans reagents for pathogen detection (Enterococcus, viral genomes, SARS-CoV-2 variants), synthetic viral controls for biosafety-restricted assays, proprietary hybridization capture panels, microbiome concentration particles, oligonucleotide libraries, and next-generation sequencing library-preparation kits. The issuing bodies are primarily state public health laboratories and departments — the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has posted multiple sole-source procurements since April 2026 — alongside county and municipal utilities conducting routine water and wastewater quality monitoring (Texas General Land Office, City of Palm Bay). Work also extends to laboratory equipment and consumables supporting sample handling, including microplate sealers, vacuum manifolds, forensic evidence collection kits, and trace-evidence testing supplies sourced by California state procurement and Texas transportation agencies.

Procurement activity concentrates in Colorado, Texas, California, and Florida. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment dominates recent volume, with sole-source contracts for Qiagen dPCR instruments and reagents (estimated $3.14 million through December 2028), Standard BioTools X9 High-Throughput Genomics Systems (estimated $3.3 million through December 2028), Ceres Nanosciences microbiome particles (estimated $3.5 million through June 2029), Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls (estimated $2.3 million through May 2030), Integrated DNA Technologies reagents and assay kits (multiple contracts totaling $2.075 million through August 2029), and an IDT newborn screening reagent kit (estimated $375,000 through May 2031). The Texas General Land Office posted an IFB for Beach Watch water-sampling and analysis services (due April 10, 2026) covering Brazoria, Matagorda, and Harris counties at cost-per-sample pricing with a VetHUB subcontracting requirement. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 for comprehensive laboratory testing across water and wastewater facilities (bidding deadline March 17, 2026; low bid $80,872 annually). California's procurement office issued multiple RFBs for forensic laboratory supplies and equipment (March–April 2026). The County of Santa Clara issued an RFI for lab information management system replacement (due April 22, 2026). Sole-source procurements dominate the Colorado market, reflecting validated integration with existing surveillance infrastructure and federal (CDC/APHL grant) compliance requirements that effectively lock in single-vendor solutions across wastewater genomics, newborn screening, and diagnostic programs.
