UNSPSC 41105519: Viral deoxyribonucleic acid DNA purification kits

UNSPSC 41105519 Viral deoxyribonucleic acid DNA purification kits (Commodity) covers DNA extraction reagents, purification kits, and related consumables that state and local forensic laboratories, public health agencies, and law enforcement procurement offices source for DNA analysis, genetic screening, and forensic casework. Recent opportunities show demand for branded consumables such as Life Technologies extraction reagents, Qiagen purification products, Promega kits, and ANDE RapidHIT system cartridges for human identification, newborn screening for genetic disorders (SCID and SMA), and controlled-substance detection. The issuing bodies are primarily state agencies — forensic laboratories, law enforcement crime labs, and public health departments — with procurement concentrated in Texas and other states operating high-throughput forensic DNA analysis or newborn screening programs.

Texas dominates recent activity, with the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission each running multiple solicitations under this code between May and October 2026. The Texas Comptroller issued a proprietary IFB (304T-27-175A11) due October 20, 2026, for a four-year statewide supply agreement covering 50 line items of DNA analysis consumables, buffer containers, genetic analyzer components, and sequencing kits for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, with historical usage driving quantities from 8 to 5,000 units per item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening (IFB HHS0017640) due July 15, 2026, and a Digital PCR instrument with DNA extractor (IFB HHS0016959v2) due May 14, 2026, serving the Department of State Health Services. The Texas Department of Public Safety also ran a dedicated RapidHIT consumables IFB (405-26R0017287) due July 22, 2026. Outside Texas, the Illinois State Police Forensic Services Division authorized emergency repair of 7500 thermal cycler units (August–September 2026), and the Mississippi Forensic Laboratory issued an RFI for Life Technologies kits and reagents (due July 21, 2026). Most solicitations are proprietary or single-source under state procurement law, reflecting the specialized nature and manufacturer specifications of forensic DNA systems; bidders must be authorized vendors for Life Technologies, Qiagen, Promega, ANDE, or other designated manufacturers and must comply with firm fixed pricing, specific SKU requirements, cold-chain logistics, and shelf-life certification.
