UNSPSC 41106001: Nucleic acid chemifluorescent detection materials

UNSPSC 41106001 Nucleic acid chemifluorescent detection materials is a Commodity code under which state and local forensic laboratories, public health agencies, and criminal justice departments procure specialized reagents, consumables, and kits for DNA analysis, forensic identification, and pathogen detection. The work being solicited ranges from individual reagent components (extraction buffers, control cartridges, sequencing kits) to integrated consumables supporting automated DNA analysis platforms such as RapidHIT systems, genetic analyzers, and digital PCR instruments. Issuing bodies include state departments of public safety and forensic laboratories, health and human services commissions, criminal justice agencies, and specialized laboratory divisions within state government. Texas dominates recent activity, with the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife all active in the market within the past four months. Illinois State Police and Mississippi Forensic Laboratory also appear in the recent opportunity set.

Recent solicitations reflect tight vendor specification and manufacturer lock-in: the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 (due October 20, 2026) covers fifty line items of specialized laboratory consumables and reagents for DNA analysis and drug screening, with all products restricted to Life Technologies (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis, and ANDE Corporation, serving the Texas Department of Public Safety and Department of Parks and Wildlife statewide over a four-year initial term plus renewals; the Texas Department of Public Safety IFB 405-26R0017287 (July 22, 2026 deadline) sought nine line items of RapidHIT consumables for the DPS Crime Lab in Austin; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017640 (July 15, 2026 deadline) procured QuantaBio DNA extraction reagents for newborn screening with an estimated annual spend of $2.5 million and a contract term running through August 31, 2031 with renewal options. Illinois State Police issued a sole-source emergency procurement (September 9, 2026 deadline) to Remi Holdings for repair and restoration services on thermal cycler units at the Rockford Forensic Science Laboratory, valued at $7,900.00. Geographic concentration remains heavily weighted to Texas, with additional activity in Illinois and Mississippi.
