UNSPSC 41105511: Kits for plasmids deoxyribonucleic acid DNA extraction from yeast

UNSPSC 41105511 Kits for plasmids deoxyribonucleic acid DNA extraction from yeast (Commodity) is nominally scoped to plasmid DNA extraction kits from yeast, but recent state and local solicitations show the code in active use for forensic and clinical DNA analysis consumables—STR amplification kits, DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening, RapidHIT consumables for human identification, and associated laboratory reagents and cartridges. State and local procurement bodies issuing under the code include state forensic laboratories, state health and human services agencies, state police crime labs, and independent school districts. Texas agencies dominate recent activity, with the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of State Health Services posting multiple solicitations since March 2026. The Texas DPS has issued competitive IFBs for RapidHIT consumables and DNA sequencing supplies; Texas HHSC has solicited DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening under a one-year contract with four optional renewals, citing historical spend of $2.5 million for the comparable period. Mississippi's Forensic Laboratory and Illinois State Police also appear as recent issuing bodies seeking proprietary Life Technologies and Promega products respectively.

Geographic concentration is strong in Texas, with three of the five most detailed recent opportunities posted by Texas state agencies in June and July 2026. Mississippi and Illinois each show a single recent solicitation for proprietary forensic products in the first quarter of 2026. Representative current opportunities include the Texas DPS IFB 405-26R0017287 for RapidHIT consumables (nine line items of sample kits, cartridges, and controls, delivery to Austin, responses due July 22, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017640 for QuantaBio DNA extraction reagents for SCID and SMA newborn screening (two reagent products with estimated annual volumes of 450 units Extracta DBS and 136 units PerfeCTa qPCR, responses due July 15, 2026), and the Illinois State Police nine-year IFB B-51025 for Promega PowerPlex STR kits and reagents in indefinite quantities for forensic laboratories statewide (responses due February 20, 2026). The solicitations reflect specialized forensic and clinical laboratory demand with single-source or proprietary constraints typical of DNA analysis workflows.
