UNSPSC 41115701: Chromatographic detectors

UNSPSC 41115701 Chromatographic detectors is a Commodity code covering specialized analytical instrumentation and chemical consumables used in forensic, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratory analysis — including genetic sequencers, mass spectrometry systems, and associated reagents and calibration standards. State and local governments procure these products for public safety crime labs, forensic DNA analysis, drug screening, and environmental testing. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices acting on behalf of law enforcement agencies and county sheriff's offices operating independent crime laboratories. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and individual counties such as Brazoria County, Texas drive recent activity.

Recent solicitations span both consumables and capital equipment. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 on September 23, 2026, with proposals due October 20, 2026, for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies serving the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife — a four-year statewide contract covering DNA analysis kits, sequencing reagents, forensic screening consumables, and genetic analyzer components from vendors including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Promega, Qiagen, Abbott, and ANDE Corporation. Brazoria County, Texas conducted an RFP in May 2026 for acquisition of a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, with sealed electronic bids due May 12, 2026. Texas shows the most recent activity under this code, with both state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles and county-level independent procurements active in 2026.
