UNSPSC 41105522: Nucleic acid isolation non magnetic beads

Isolates single cells from cell suspensions without magnetic forces

UNSPSC 41105522 Nucleic acid isolation non magnetic beads (Commodity) covers DNA and RNA extraction reagents, sequencing kit consumables, and related laboratory supplies that state and local forensic science, public health, and criminal justice laboratories use for genetic analysis, pathogen detection, and newborn screening. State and local governments procure these items—primarily through Texas agencies—for forensic DNA profiling, controlled-substance screening, disease surveillance, and inherited-disorder detection in dried blood spots. Issuing bodies include state forensic laboratories (Texas Department of Public Safety, Illinois State Police Forensic Services Division, Mississippi Forensic Laboratory), state health and human services commissions, and public safety departments. Most recent activity centers on Texas, where the Department of Public Safety, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Department of State Health Services have each posted multiple solicitations over the past four months.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T27175A11 (posted September 23, 2026, due October 20, 2026) for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies—including DNA quantification standards, buffer containers, sequencing kits, and RapidHIT cartridges for forensic analysis—serving the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Parks and Wildlife with firm pricing and FOB destination statewide delivery; the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0017287 (posted July 7, 2026, due July 22, 2026) for nine line items of RapidHIT consumables including sample kits, primary and utility cartridges, and control cartridges for human identification and DNA fragment analysis; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017640 (posted July 1, 2026, due July 15, 2026) for QuantaBio DNA extraction reagents specifically for newborn screening of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disorder and Spinal Muscular Atrophy using dried blood spot samples, with historical spend of $2.5 million for comparable goods. Illinois posted an emergency sole-source repair notice (August 25, 2026) for thermal cycler units at the Rockford Forensic Science Laboratory, and Mississippi posted an RFI (June 30, 2026) for Life Technologies kits and consumables. All recent Texas procurements are proprietary or brand-restricted, commonly specify manufacturers such as Life Technologies (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Qiagen, Promega, and Abbott, require cold-chain or specialized storage, and enforce shelf-life and warranty compliance.
