UNSPSC 41115834: Flow cytometer accessories or supplies

Replacement parts, accessories and supplies for flow cytometric analysis

UNSPSC 41115834 Flow cytometer accessories or supplies (Commodity) encompasses diagnostic laboratory equipment consumables and supplies that state and local governments—primarily state health departments, county public health laboratories, and research universities—procure for clinical microbiology and infectious disease surveillance. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Laboratories is the most concrete match: it issued a sole-source notice of intent to award $1,904,475.72 to Clear Labs for two-year service and reagent supply covering proprietary Clear Dx System LR-SR instruments located in Chicago and Springfield, including SARS-CoV-2 and Microbial Surveillance whole-genome sequencing reagent bundles at specified unit pricing and maintenance service plans ranging from $17,417.70 to $29,988.00 per instrument per year. Beyond that narrowly focused procurement, the broader recent-opportunities block shows activity in occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and cardiac monitors and EMS equipment (Bryan County, Cobb County School District), none of which fit the flow cytometer accessories taxonomy.

The Illinois sole-source determination from August 2026 reflects cumulative prior expenditures exceeding $4.4 million with Clear Labs dating to April 2023, signaling entrenched proprietary dependency in state laboratory procurement. Sourcewell, the Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, appears twice in the opportunities block (physical health products and law enforcement equipment) but neither solicitation is substantively linked to flow cytometry or clinical laboratory diagnostics. Geographic spread in the recent data concentrates on Illinois, Washington, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, and Texas, though the code shows sparse and fragmented activity overall. Firms pursuing this code should focus on sole-source and proprietary reagent-supply relationships with state and county public health laboratories where incumbent equipment lock-in limits competitive entry; broader market pursuit under this code is not supported by current state and local activity.
