UNSPSC 41105508: Nucleic acids coprecipitants

UNSPSC 41105508 Nucleic acids coprecipitants is a Commodity-tier code that covers laboratory consumables, reagents, and specialized materials used in DNA analysis, forensic testing, and newborn disease screening — particularly the branded kits, buffers, extraction reagents, sequencing materials, and control cartridges that support forensic DNA processing and genetic analysis workflows. State and local buyers under this code are primarily forensic laboratories operated by state law-enforcement and public-safety agencies, state health departments, and specialized testing divisions within state-level health and human services commissions. The Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are the most active recent buyers; these agencies issue multiple IFBs annually for both consumable replenishment and specialized reagent procurement. The work includes purchasing branded RapidHIT consumables (sample kits, control cartridges, booking station kits), DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening (SCID and SMA detection), Life Technologies genetic-analysis consumables, and related laboratory supplies specified by manufacturer and part number under single-source or proprietary procurement frameworks.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Mississippi, with the highest volume in Texas across both forensic and public-health applications.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening (HHS0017640, due July 15, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $2.5 million across a September 2026–August 2031 term and renewal options) and issued IFBs for digital PCR instruments with DNA extractors (HHS0016959 and HHS0016959V2, both QIAGEN-specified, with response dates February 20 and May 14, 2026). The Mississippi Forensic Laboratory issued an RFI for Life Technologies kits and consumables (1711-26-R-RFIN-00013, due July 21, 2026). The Illinois State Police Forensic Services Division awarded emergency sole-source repair services on 7500 thermal cycler units to Remi Holdings, LLC ($7,900 estimated value, work commenced August 21, 2026) when manufacturer-authorized service was required and no BEP-certified vendors qualified.
