UNSPSC 41105330: Control proteins or cell lysates or tissue lysates

UNSPSC 41105330 Control proteins or cell lysates or tissue lysates is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized biological reagents and laboratory consumables used in forensic, genetic, and pharmaceutical screening applications. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through statewide contracts that consolidate purchases of proprietary reagents, genetic analyzer components, and diagnostic kits for centralized distribution across multiple agencies and facilities. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state law enforcement and natural resource departments that operate forensic laboratories and require consistent access to manufacturer-specified DNA analysis, sequencing, and drug-screening products. The work involves managing firm-priced supply agreements with multi-year terms, strict cold-chain compliance requirements (typically 2–8 degrees Celsius storage), shelf-life management, and compatibility assurance with designated equipment platforms such as Applied Biosystems genetic analyzers.
