UNSPSC 41105328: Premade northern or southern or western blots

UNSPSC 41105328 Premade northern or southern or western blots, a Commodity code, covers specialized laboratory reagents and consumables for DNA analysis, forensic genetics, and drug screening—premade diagnostic kits and standardized laboratory materials used in state and local forensic and public health testing. The code sees activity primarily among state criminal-justice and public-safety agencies operating centralized forensic laboratories and crime-scene analysis capabilities. State comptroller offices and procurement divisions solicit under this code on behalf of state law-enforcement departments and related agencies purchasing through statewide cooperative vehicles and proprietary procurement mechanisms.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posted IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 on September 23, 2026, with proposals due October 20, 2026, to supply proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and consumables for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife. The 50-line-item procurement covers genetic analyzer components, DNA quantification and size standards, sequencing kits, RapidHIT ID system cartridges, and Direct ELISA kits for controlled-substance screening; all items are manufacturer-specified (Life Technologies / Thermo Fisher Scientific, Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis Corporation / Abbott, and ANDE Corporation) with designated SKU numbers. The contract runs from Notice of Award through October 31, 2027, with three one-year renewal options. The source identifies no additional recent state or local opportunities under this code, suggesting limited current procurement velocity beyond the Texas statewide vehicle.
