UNSPSC 41106309: Premade complementary deoxyribonucleic acid cDNA

UNSPSC 41106309 Premade complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) is a Commodity code tracking specialized molecular biology reagents and consumables for DNA extraction, amplification, and analysis in forensic, diagnostic, and research settings. State and local governments procure under this code branded kits and reagents—principally STR amplification kits, DNA extraction reagents, qPCR reagents, and associated consumables—for forensic casework, newborn screening, pathogen detection, and DNA indexing operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly state crime laboratories, state health and human services agencies (particularly newborn screening and epidemiology programs), and state police forensic divisions. Texas entities (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of State Health Services) dominate the recent activity, though Mississippi and Illinois state forensic and laboratory systems also solicit under this code.

Recent opportunities span forensic DNA analysis, newborn screening, and infectious-disease surveillance. The Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab issued IFB 405-26R0017287 in July 2026 for RapidHIT consumables including sample kits, control cartridges, and utility cartridges, due July 22, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017640 on July 1, 2026 for QuantaBio DNA extraction and qPCR reagents for newborn screening (SCID and SMA detection), due July 15, 2026, with historical spend of $2.5 million over a three-month prior period and contract renewal options through August 2031. The Illinois State Police solicited a nine-year contract for Promega PowerPlex STR amplification kits and reagents under IFB B-51025, due February 20, 2026, for delivery to nine state forensic laboratory locations statewide. Mississippi issued sole-source RFIs for Qiagen EZ1 and 2DNA kits and Life Technologies consumables for forensic use. Activity is most concentrated in Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois and Mississippi; recent opportunities posted from February through July 2026 cluster around firm-fixed-price consumables procurements with annual or multi-year terms under competitive IFB or sole-source RFI notices.
