UNSPSC 41104933: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system

Designed for the sensitive, reproducible, endpoint detection and analysis of RNA molecules by RT-PCR. Using this convenient one-step formulation, you can perform both cDNA synthesis and PCR amplification in a single tube using gene-specific primers, and target RNAs from either total RNA or mRNA. The system uses a mixture of SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase and Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase in an optimized reaction buffer, and it can detect a wide range of RNA targets, from 200 bp to 4.5 kb. The amount of starting material can range from 0.01 pg to 1 mg of total RNA.

UNSPSC 41104933 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities block contains no relevant solicitations for PCR systems or related laboratory analytical instruments; the opportunities tagged under this code span maintenance repair and operations (MRO) supplies, aquatic center operations, automatic external defibrillators, evacuation chairs, laser equipment, surgical power, group purchasing organization services, and medical equipment and supplies broadly construed. One solicitation—Granite School District's IFB AP27607 for a QPCR analytical instrument due September 1, 2026—aligns with the code's nominal scope, seeking a quantitative PCR analyzer for delivery to the district's CTE facility with an estimated unit price near $83,000 to $84,000 based on Life Technologies comparables. The issuing bodies in the block are primarily cities, counties, school districts, and public health authorities (Tucson, Palm Bay, Huron Valley Schools in Michigan, Granite School District in Utah, San Mateo County, Dallas, Marion County in Florida, Hillsborough County in Florida, Los Angeles County Superior Court, and the Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). The geographic spread spans Florida, Michigan, Utah, California, Texas, Minnesota, Kentucky, and Georgia, with no standout repeat buyer under this specific code.

The single recent opportunity clearly matching PCR scope—Granite School District's QPCR instrument procurement—is an IFB with bids due September 1, 2026, for a quantitative PCR analyzer to support Career and Technical Education instruction. The broader solicitations tagged to this code reflect a data-classification or taxonomy mismatch rather than genuine PCR demand; state and local buyers are acquiring general medical equipment, safety devices, and facilities management supplies under the same code umbrella. A business development professional evaluating this code should note the scarcity of directly relevant recent activity and the misalignment between the code's analytical-instrument scope and the operational, maintenance, and general-supply procurement that dominates the recent-opportunities block. The Granite School District IFB represents the only current signal for PCR or qPCR equipment sourcing in this dataset.
