UNSPSC 41105600: Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA sequencing products

UNSPSC 41105600 Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA sequencing products is a Class code that covers DNA sequencing consumables, reagent kits, extraction systems, and related laboratory supplies used by forensic, public health, and research laboratories to perform DNA analysis, casework, and diagnostic testing. State and local buyers under this code include forensic laboratories operated by state law enforcement and crime lab divisions, public health agencies conducting newborn screening and disease surveillance, and research institutions. Texas dominates recent activity, with the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of State Health Services posting multiple opportunities between April and July 2026; Florida and Mississippi also show recent procurement. Missouri has posted a complex laboratory relocation RFP covering the relocation of analytical instruments and hazardous chemicals across three state agency laboratories (Department of Natural Resources, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Department of Agriculture) to a new campus in Jefferson City, due August 11, 2026, requiring contractors with five years of laboratory relocation experience, hazmat training, and project teams including laboratory personnel and licensed movers.

Recent solicitations reflect the full spectrum of activity under the code: the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab issued an IFB on July 7, 2026 (due July 22) for RapidHIT DNA consumables—sample kits, cartridges, and control materials for human identification and Y-STR analysis; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB on July 1, 2026 (due July 15) for DNA extraction reagents (QuantaBio Extracta DBS and PerfeCTa qPCR ToughMix) for newborn screening of SCID and SMA, with historical annual spend of $2.5 million; and the Mississippi Forensic Laboratory posted a sole-source RFI in June 2026 for Life Technologies kits and consumables. Texas DPS Crime Lab also issued an RFI in June 2026 for compact, high-throughput automated liquid handling systems for CODIS laboratory use (due July 21), and an earlier IFB in April 2026 for 5-Dye STR Multiplex kits for Y-STR amplification. Florida Department of Law Enforcement posted two single-source notices (May and June 2026) for DNA testing, sequencing, and genetic genealogy services with Othram, Inc., for cold case investigations and missing-person identification. Equipment procurement also appears—Texas HHSC issued an IFB for a Digital PCR Instrument with DNA Extractor (QIAGEN systems) in April and reissued in May 2026. Illinois State Police posted an IFB in February 2026 for nine-year supply of Promega STR kits and reagents to nine forensic lab locations across the state.
