UNSPSC 41105504: Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid DNA purification kits

UNSPSC 41105504 Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid DNA purification kits is a Commodity code under which state and local forensic laboratories, public health agencies, and criminal justice departments procure specialized DNA extraction reagents, purification kits, and associated consumables for human identification, forensic casework, pathogen detection, and newborn genetic screening. The work encompasses ready-to-use reagent kits from brand-name manufacturers—Life Technologies/Thermo Fisher Scientific, Qiagen, Promega, Abbott Immunalysis, and ANDE Corporation—along with sample cartridges, buffers, controls, and consumables compatible with specific instrument platforms such as Applied Biosystems genetic analyzers and RapidHIT systems. State and local purchasing under this code comes from Texas agencies (the Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services, and Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division), the Illinois State Police Forensic Services Division, and the Mississippi Forensic Laboratory. Most solicitations are issued as Invitations for Bid or sole-source/proprietary procurements under state government codes, reflecting the manufacturer-specific and technical nature of forensic DNA work where equipment compatibility and chain-of-custody standards lock purchasing to particular product lines.

Recent activity centers heavily in Texas, with four documented solicitations across June, July, and September 2026. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued an IFB for RapidHIT consumables (DNA Consumables, IFB 405-26R0017287, due July 22, 2026), the Texas HHSC posted an IFB for QuantaBio DNA extraction reagents for newborn SCID and SMA screening (HHS0017640, due July 15, 2026, with historical spend of $2.5 million for the prior three-month period), and the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division released a larger proprietary procurement (IFB 304T-27-175A1.1, due October 20, 2026) covering 50 line items of DNA analysis consumables and forensic reagents for delivery to the Texas Department of Public Safety and Department of Parks and Wildlife. The Mississippi Forensic Laboratory requested Life Technologies kits and consumables (RFI 1711-26-R-RFIN-00013, due July 21, 2026), and the Illinois State Police Forensic Services Division executed an emergency sole-source repair contract with Remi Holdings for restoration of thermal cycler units critical to forensic DNA processing (estimated value $7,900.00, work authorized August 21, 2026). Contract terms typically run one to four years with optional renewals, pricing is firm and fixed with FOB Destination shipping, and most purchasing is tied to specific SKU numbers and manufacturer warranties of 90 days or longer.
