UNSPSC 41106621: Virus mediated expression vectors or kits

UNSPSC 41106621 Virus mediated expression vectors or kits is a Commodity code that sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities indexed under this code overwhelmingly represent laboratory and scientific research equipment purchases—Dynamic Mechanical Analyzers, X-ray diffractometers, microscopes, cold spray additive manufacturing systems, acoustic telemetry receivers, induction melting furnaces, and specialized instrumentation—rather than biological reagents, expression systems, or viral vector kits. The mismatch between code assignment and actual goods being solicited suggests either systematic mis-tagging in procurement databases or a code that has drifted from active use in state and local sourcing.

The issuing bodies pursuing equipment under this code are predominantly higher-education institutions, particularly Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas State University, and Midwestern State University, supplemented by a small number of state agencies (Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and one county-level water quality laboratory (Escambia County). Mississippi State University alone accounts for the majority of recent notices, issuing multiple sole-source procurements between late June and mid-October 2026 for research instruments ranging from $6,138 (fire alarm components) to $1.253 million (hybrid robotic 3D printing system). The geographic concentration is heavy in Mississippi, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Mississippi State University's sole-source acquisition of a CEAD B.V. AM Flexbot hybrid robotic 3D printing system (RFP format, estimated $1.253 million, notice posted September 11, 2026, objections due September 25, 2026) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison's competitive bid for an RF-shielded anechoic chamber and far-field antenna measurement positioner system (RFB format, due August 14, 2026). No opportunities in the block match the code's stated scope of virus-mediated expression vectors or kits; pursue only after confirming the code assignment reflects your actual product or service capability.
