UNSPSC 41115727: Chromatography blotting paper

A blotting paper composed of superclean cotton or cellulose that is utilized during the stationary phase of thin layer chromatography to ensure wicking capability and uniformity of capillary action

UNSPSC 41115727 Chromatography blotting paper (Commodity) captures specialized laboratory consumables and reagents used in forensic analysis, genetic testing, and drug screening rather than blotting paper in the traditional sense. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy DNA analysis kits, sequencing reagents, buffer containers, polymers, genetic analyzer components, and direct ELISA kits for controlled-substance detection. The recent solicitation activity shows this code functions as a catch-all taxonomy entry for proprietary laboratory supplies sourced from specialized vendors including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Promega, Qiagen, Abbott, and ANDE Corporation. Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions and county sheriffs' offices; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Brazoria County, Texas have posted opportunities in the recent window.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted IFB 304T27175A11 on September 23, 2026, with a due date of October 20, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. CST, soliciting proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife across 50 line items with quantities ranging from 8 to 5,000 units per item and a four-year initial term plus three one-year renewal options. Brazoria County, Texas issued RFP 26-48 on May 12, 2026, for acquisition of a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, with sealed electronic bids due the same day through the Bonfire platform. Both solicitations reflect forensic and analytical testing infrastructure common to state and county law enforcement laboratories.
