UNSPSC 41106616: Phage or viral deoxyribonucleic acids DNA

UNSPSC 41106616 Phage or viral deoxyribonucleic acids DNA, a Commodity code, covers DNA extraction reagents, amplification kits, and related laboratory consumables used in forensic identification, newborn disease screening, and pathogen detection by state and local law enforcement, public health, and laboratory agencies. State and local solicitations under this code range from multi-line-item orders for specialized forensic consumables (swabs, cartridges, and control samples for rapid DNA analysis) to annual contracts for clinical-grade extraction and PCR reagents supporting newborn screening for genetic disorders, to bulk purchases of STR amplification kits for DNA casework indexing. Issuing bodies include state departments of public safety crime laboratories, state health and human services commissions, state police forensic divisions, state forensic laboratories, and municipal public health labs, with Texas agencies—particularly the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission—posting the majority of recent activity.

Recent solicitations concentrate in Texas and Illinois, with additional activity in Mississippi and Florida. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued IFB 405-26R0017287 on July 7, 2026, for RapidHIT DNA consumables (sample kits, cartridges, and control materials) with bids due July 22, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017640 on July 1, 2026, for QuantaBio DNA extraction reagents supporting newborn SCID and SMA screening, with bids due July 15, 2026, and historical spend of $2.5 million over a three-month period in 2025. The Illinois State Police posted a nine-year IFB on February 6, 2026, for Promega PowerPlex STR amplification kits for forensic DNA casework across multiple state laboratory locations, with bids due February 20, 2026. The Mississippi Forensic Laboratory issued an RFI on June 30, 2026, for Life Technologies kits and reagents under a proprietary product constraint, due July 21, 2026. Procurement vehicles include traditional competitive IFBs and sole-source proprietary procurements, with contract terms typically running one year for consumables with optional renewal periods and nine-year terms for high-volume forensic reagent agreements.
