UNSPSC 41115720: Chromatography tubing

UNSPSC 41115720 Chromatography tubing is a Commodity code covering consumable and modular components used in chromatography systems, including tubing, connectors, and specialized flow-path components for analytical laboratory equipment. State and local governments procure these items primarily through forensic and analytical chemistry programs operated by law enforcement agencies, public health departments, and state-level crime laboratories. The actual buying activity under this code reflects the narrower scope of chromatography consumables and spare parts rather than complete analytical instruments; state and local solicitations name tubing, buffer containers, sequencing kits, cartridges, and analyzer-compatible components designed for use in genetic analysis, forensic drug screening, and DNA quantification workflows.

Recent activity centers in Texas, where the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and individual county sheriffs' offices are the primary issuing bodies. The Texas Comptroller issued IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 on September 23, 2026, for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies with proposals due October 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. CST—a four-year statewide contract serving the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife with line items ranging from 8 to 5,000 units covering DNA analysis kits, buffer containers, polymers, sequencing components, and cartridges for genetic analyzers and RapidHIT systems. Brazoria County, Texas issued RFP #26-48 in May 2026 for a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, with bids due May 12, 2026. The Texas activity indicates repeat state and county procurement of forensic and analytical laboratory components, though the sample remains limited in geographic breadth.
