UNSPSC 41115712: Solid phase extraction SPE columns

UNSPSC 41115712 Solid phase extraction SPE columns is a Commodity code covering laboratory consumables and reagents used in forensic analysis, DNA sequencing, and drug screening — the state and local opportunities under this code show active procurement of specialized chemical and chromatographic supplies for crime laboratories and public-safety forensic operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 in September 2026 for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies, a four-year statewide contract covering DNA quantification standards, genetic analyzer components, buffer solutions, sequencing kits, RapidHIT ID cartridges, and direct ELISA kits for controlled-substance screening — all with brand and SKU specifications from Life Technologies (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis (Abbott), and ANDE Corporation. Issuing bodies under this code include state procurement divisions managing centralized contracts for multiple agencies and county sheriffs' offices acquiring specialized forensic equipment; the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife are the primary end users for the Comptroller's statewide contract.

Texas dominates the recent solicitation activity, with the Comptroller's procurement due October 20, 2026, requiring all-inclusive firm pricing, FOB Destination statewide delivery, compliance with storage and shelf-life requirements (2–8 degrees Celsius for most items), and 90-day or manufacturer-standard warranty coverage. Brazoria County, Texas also solicited an RFP in May 2026 for a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for its Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, though that notice focused on the instrument platform rather than the consumables and reagents that fall directly under the SPE columns code. Vendors pursuing this code should expect proprietary single-source procurement under state competitive guidelines, strict product specifications tied to equipment compatibility (Applied Biosystems 3500 and SeqStudio Flex analyzers), and multiyear master-agreement structures with renewal options exercised at the procuring agency's discretion.
