UNSPSC 41115718: Injector septa

UNSPSC 41115718 Injector septa is a Commodity code identifying specialized consumable sealing components used in laboratory analytical instruments, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on a broader range of chemical laboratory supplies and specialized analytical equipment rather than septa alone. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and Brazoria County, Texas have both solicited laboratory-focused procurements: the Comptroller's IFB covers DNA analysis reagents, forensic screening kits, genetic analyzer components, and drug-screening consumables for use by the Texas Department of Public Safety and Parks and Wildlife; Brazoria County's RFP seeks a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for forensic analysis at the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab. The issuing bodies are primarily state purchasing divisions managing statewide contracts and county public-safety agencies operating crime and forensic laboratories. Vendors supplying under the code include Life Technologies Corp. (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis Corporation (Abbott), and ANDE Corporation—all major manufacturers of laboratory reagents and analytical instruments.

Texas shows the most recent activity under this code. The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T27175A11, posted September 23, 2026, with a response deadline of October 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. CST, spans fifty line items of specialized laboratory consumables with quantities ranging from 8 to 5,000 units annually, firm fixed pricing with FOB Destination delivery, and an initial contract term through October 31, 2027, plus three one-year renewal options. A 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee applies. Brazoria County's RFP #26-48 for the LC-QQQ system closed May 12, 2026, with electronic submission through Bonfire; the notice does not specify budget range, set-asides, or evaluation weighting. Both procurements require new, unused equipment with manufacturer warranties and compliance with cold-storage or specialized shipping requirements.
