UNSPSC 41105343: Kit and reagent for tape based electrophoresis

Kit or reagent used to perform electrophoresis for quality control evaluation and purity analysis or quantitation of genomic DNA, DNA fragments and DNA libraries utilizing a tape based platform

UNSPSC 41105343 Kit and reagent for tape based electrophoresis is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure laboratory reagents, electrophoresis kits, and related consumables for educational and diagnostic use. Recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for tape-based electrophoresis supplies; the two most recent opportunities tagged to this code diverge significantly from its nominal scope. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas issued RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026 (due June 5, 2026) for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources spanning 17 distinct CTE program areas, with no explicit reference to electrophoresis or laboratory reagents in the available materials. The County of Santa Clara issued an RFI on April 7, 2026 (due April 22, 2026) for a public health lab information management system (LIMS) replacement—a software procurement, not a consumable-reagent or kit purchase. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its actual product scope; the opportunities listed appear to be miscoded and do not reflect authentic demand for tape-based electrophoresis kits and reagents in state and local procurement markets.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix cannot be reliably characterized from opportunities that do not match the code's scope. The two recent records represent a school district and a county health department, but neither procurement addresses the laboratory consumables this Commodity code nominally covers. Business development professionals evaluating whether to pursue activity under UNSPSC 41105343 should verify that opportunities actually specify tape-based electrophoresis kits, reagents, or related supplies before committing resources to pursuit; the current posting pattern suggests that few state and local jurisdictions are actively sourcing these supplies through formal competitive procurements, or that the code is being applied inconsistently in the market.
