UNSPSC 41105106: Chromatography pumps

UNSPSC 41105106 Chromatography pumps is a Commodity code covering laboratory analytical instrumentation and consumables — specifically components, reagents, and integrated systems for chromatographic analysis in forensic and clinical applications. State and local governments procure this equipment for crime labs, public health departments, and forensic analysis units to conduct DNA sequencing, drug screening, toxicology, and controlled-substance detection. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Brazoria County Sheriff's Office represent the kinds of issuing bodies active under this code: state agencies and county law-enforcement departments with in-house analytical capabilities. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of specialized consumables (genetic analyzer cartridges, sequencing kits, DNA standards, and ELISA reagents for cannabinoid and opioid detection) and capital equipment (liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer systems). Vendors supplying this space include major life-sciences manufacturers such as Thermo Fisher Scientific (Life Technologies), Promega, Qiagen, Abbott (Immunalysis), and ANDE Corporation, often procured on a single-source or brand-specific basis due to compatibility requirements with existing analyzer platforms.

Texas shows the most recent activity under the code. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB 304T-27-175A1.1) on September 23, 2026, for Proprietary Chemical Laboratory Equipment and Supplies with a response deadline of October 20, 2026, covering DNA analysis, forensic, and drug-screening consumables and reagents across 50 line items for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Department of Parks and Wildlife statewide delivery. Brazoria County, Texas issued a Request for Proposal (RFP #26-48) on May 12, 2026, for the acquisition of a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, with the same response deadline. Both opportunities reflect procurement models typical of forensic and public-health laboratory environments: Texas Comptroller contracts often run multi-year terms with renewal options and include statewide cooperative purchasing arrangements, while county-level acquisitions focus on specialized instrumentation to upgrade or establish analytical capacity.
