UNSPSC 41115726: Thin layer chromatography fitting

Replacement part or fitting utilized on a thin layer chromatograph

UNSPSC 41115726 Thin layer chromatography fitting is a Commodity code representing specialized laboratory consumables and analytical instrumentation components that state and local governments procure for forensic, toxicology, and DNA analysis work. The code's nominal scope describes discrete chromatography fittings, but recent state and local activity shows a broader procurement pattern: state and county agencies are soliciting complete analytical systems, reagents, kits, and consumables for drug screening, genetic analysis, and crime lab operations. Texas agencies dominate recent activity, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Brazoria County Sheriff's Office driving demand for DNA analyzers, sequencing reagents, direct-immunoassay screening kits, and associated laboratory supplies.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted an IFB (304T27175A11) on September 23, 2026, due October 20, 2026, for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies spanning 50 line items — including genetic analyzer components, DNA sequencing kits, buffer containers, polymers, and direct-ELISA kits for controlled substance detection — with a four-year term and three one-year renewal options. Products are manufactured by Life Technologies Corp. (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis Corporation (Abbott), and ANDE Corporation, with quantities ranging from 8 to 5,000 units per line item based on historical usage. The contract serves the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife statewide. Brazoria County Sheriff's Office issued an RFP (#26-48) due May 12, 2026, for a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (LC-QQQ) system for its crime lab. Both opportunities reflect state and county reliance on single-source or brand-specific specifications; the Comptroller procurement carries a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee and requires $500,000 minimum general liability insurance.
