UNSPSC 41115733: Ion chromatography IC eluent generator

Device that supports ion chromatography systems.

UNSPSC 41115733 Ion chromatography IC eluent generator is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity covers specialized laboratory chemical equipment, supplies, and reagents used in forensic analysis, drug screening, and genetic identification work. The code captures both consumable reagents (buffers, polymers, sequencing kits, DNA standards, and immunoassay reagents for controlled-substance detection) and the analytical instrumentation (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry systems and genetic analyzers) that state and local crime laboratories and public safety agencies procure to support their operational missions. State agencies and county sheriff's offices issue solicitations under this code; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Brazoria County Sheriff's Office appear as recent buyers, suggesting activity concentrated among law enforcement and forensic-service authorities at the state and county level.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 on September 23, 2026, with proposals due October 20, 2026, for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies serving the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife—a statewide contract spanning DNA analysis consumables, forensic reagents, and drug-screening kits from vendors including Life Technologies Corp. (Thermo Fisher Scientific), Promega, Qiagen, and Abbott, with quantities ranging from 8 to 5,000 units per line item and an initial term running through October 31, 2027, 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 May 12, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. local time through the county's Bonfire platform. The two solicitations reflect the code's role in supporting forensic laboratory operations at different governmental scales.
