UNSPSC 41105510: Phage deoxyribonucleic acid DNA purification kits

UNSPSC 41105510 Phage deoxyribonucleic acid DNA purification kits (Commodity) covers DNA extraction and amplification reagents, kits, and consumables used by state forensic laboratories, health and human services agencies, and independent school districts for forensic casework, disease screening, and DNA analysis workflows. State and local buying under this code targets branded reagent systems from manufacturers including QIAGEN, Life Technologies, Promega, and QuantaBio, with purchases spanning RapidHIT sample kits and control cartridges for forensic identification, qPCR reagents for newborn screening (SCID and SMA detection), STR amplification kits for casework indexing, and DNA extraction systems. Issuing bodies include state forensic laboratories, state health departments and disease-control divisions, state police crime labs, and municipal utilities conducting regulatory water and wastewater testing. Recent solicitations show Texas agencies (Department of Public Safety, Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services) as the dominant repeat buyers, with additional activity in Mississippi, Illinois, and Florida.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Texas, followed by activity in Mississippi, Illinois, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab IFB 40526R0017287 (DNA consumables including RapidHIT kits and control cartridges, bids due July 22, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017640 (QuantaBio DNA extraction and qPCR reagents for newborn screening, estimated annual historical spend $2.5 million, bids due July 15, 2026), the Illinois State Police IFB B-51025 (Promega PowerPlex STR amplification kits for nine forensic laboratory sites statewide, nine-year contract term, bids due February 20, 2026), the Mississippi Forensic Laboratory RFI 1711-26-R-RFIN-00013 (Life Technologies kits and reagents, proposals due July 21, 2026), and the State of Mississippi sole-source procurement 1711-26-R-RFIN-00010 (QIAGEN EZ1 and DNA extraction kits, March 25, 2026). Sole-source and proprietary-product restrictions appear frequently, limiting competition to authorized dealers of specified manufacturers.
