UNSPSC 41105521: Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA detection system

Equipment that disposes in mass of manifestation for genes, search for genetic disease, virus infection and others.

UNSPSC 41105521 DNA detection system is a Commodity code covering the specialized reagents, consumables, and ancillary equipment state and local forensic and public health laboratories procure to conduct DNA extraction, amplification, sequencing, and analysis for criminal casework, evidence identification, and newborn disease screening. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying Life Technologies genetic analyzer cartridges and sequencing kits; RapidHIT rapid DNA identification system consumables including sample kits, control cartridges, and utility cartridges; quantitative PCR reagents for disease screening; DNA extraction buffers and quantification standards; and digital PCR instruments with integrated DNA extraction capability. The issuing bodies are primarily state forensic laboratories and public health agencies—the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife, Illinois State Police Forensic Services Division, Mississippi Forensic Laboratory, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission / Department of State Health Services—all of which procure these items under sole-source or proprietary specifications tied to existing analyzer platforms and established workflows.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Illinois, with the largest visible commitments from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas Department of Public Safety. The Texas Comptroller solicited DNA analysis consumables and reagents from multiple vendors (Life Technologies, Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis, and ANDE) under IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 with response due October 20, 2026, serving statewide delivery through October 2027 with renewal options; the Texas Department of Public Safety issued separate IFBs for RapidHIT consumables (due July 22, 2026) and DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening (due July 15, 2026, serving the Texas Health and Human Services Commission with historical spend reference of $2.5 million for a three-month period). The Illinois State Police executed an emergency sole-source repair contract with Remi Holdings for $7,900 on critical thermal cycler units at the Rockford Forensic Science Laboratory (work authorized August 21, 2026). The Mississippi Forensic Laboratory issued an RFI for Life Technologies kits and consumables due July 21, 2026. The Texas Department of Public Safety also issued an informational RFI on June 3, 2026 (due July 21, 2026) for compact high-throughput automated liquid handling systems for CODIS laboratory use, and HHSC/DSHS procured a digital PCR instrument with DNA extraction system under IFB HHS0016959v2 (due May 14, 2026) with historical spend guidance of $100,000 to $200,000. Proprietary and single-source designations dominate these procurements, reflecting the specialized nature of forensic DNA workflows and equipment lock-in to specific analyzer platforms.
