UNSPSC 41115824: Protein analyzer accessories or supplies

UNSPSC 41115824 Protein analyzer accessories or supplies is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses laboratory diagnostic equipment, consumables, and related services procured by state health departments, county health authorities, cities, and school districts — though recent solicitations tagged with this code show significant scope drift toward unrelated medical equipment and services. The Illinois Department of Public Health issued a sole-source notice (27482DPHOFCDIB53556, due September 9, 2026) for two-year service and reagent supply covering Clear Dx System LR-SR instruments for SARS-CoV-2 and microbial surveillance whole-genome sequencing at a contract value of $1,904,475.72; prior cumulative purchases from the same vendor dating to April 2023 exceeded $4.4 million. Beyond that single clear fit, recent state and local postings tagged under this code span cardiac monitors, AEDs and accessories, blood pressure cuffs, intraosseous infusion equipment, HIV test kits, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, metabolic measurement systems, and computerized dynamic posturography equipment — none of which are protein analyzer accessories or supplies. Sourcewell, the Minnesota local government cooperative, posted an RFP for physical health products and related services (26RFP102026, due October 20, 2026) as a cooperative purchasing vehicle for its Participating Entities, though specific product categories and service deliverables were not detailed in the available materials.

The geographic spread is narrow and does not support a meaningful multi-state characterization. Illinois (Illinois Department of Public Health), Florida (Collier County, Marion County, City of Orlando), Minnesota (Sourcewell), Georgia (GSW State University), and Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Williamson County) each appear once or twice in the recent record, with no jurisdiction showing repeated activity under this code. The scope misalignment between the code's nominal definition and the equipment and services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code definition that does not match current procurement practice. The single representative opportunity genuinely aligned with protein analyzer work is the Illinois Department of Public Health sole-source procurement for Clear Dx reagent and service supply; all other recent postings tagged to this code target unrelated medical equipment categories and should not be relied upon as signals of protein analyzer demand.
