UNSPSC 41105345: Protein gel stain

Stains specific to visualization of proteins separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, that are not polyacrylimide in composition

UNSPSC 41105345 Protein gel stain is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics RFP from Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026) and a lab information management system RFI from Santa Clara County (due April 22, 2026)—do not involve protein gel stain or closely related laboratory reagents. The Klein ISD solicitation covers instructional supplies, textbooks, technology software, and specialized equipment across 17 CTE program areas and advanced academics; the Santa Clara County RFI seeks a LIMS platform for public health lab operations. Neither opportunity represents a meaningful demand signal for protein gel stain products under this code.

The issuing-body mix across these two records spans a large school district and a county public health agency, but this fragmentation reflects the mismatch between the code's actual scope and what these jurisdictions are buying rather than a coherent market. Geographic activity appears limited to Texas and California based on recent postings. Given the absence of actual protein gel stain procurement in the recent-opportunities block, this code does not support a pursue or watch signal for vendors supplying that product category to state and local buyers at present.
