UNSPSC 41115717: Gas chromatography fittings

UNSPSC 41115717 Gas chromatography fittings is a Commodity code that in practice captures specialized laboratory consumables and analytical instrumentation used in forensic, toxicology, and genetic analysis work at state and local public safety and health agencies. Recent state and local opportunities under this code span DNA sequencing reagents, forensic drug-screening consumables, genetic analyzer components, and analytical mass spectrometry systems — a portfolio that reflects the actual procurement activity of crime labs, public health departments, and forensic facilities rather than the narrow scope suggested by the code name alone. The issuing bodies are state procurement divisions and county purchasing departments, specifically repeat buyers in the public safety and forensic-laboratory sectors.

Texas leads recent activity under the code, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (Statewide Procurement Division) conducting an IFB posted September 23, 2026, with a response deadline of October 20, 2026 for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies including DNA analyzers, reagents, sequencing kits, and drug-screening assays sourced from Life Technologies Corp. (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis Corporation (Abbott), and ANDE Corporation — serving the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife under a four-year term with renewal options. Brazoria County, Texas released an RFP on May 12, 2026 for acquisition of a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (LC-QQQ) for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, with sealed bids due May 12, 2026 through the county's Bonfire electronic bidding platform. Both solicitations emphasize vendor-specific SKU requirements, precise cold-chain storage and shipping, compatibility with specified analytical platforms, and firm pricing with fixed shipping terms.
