UNSPSC 41115872: Clinical chemistry analyzer, portable

Chemistry analyzers can be benchtop devices or placed on a cart; other systems require floor space. They are used to determine the concentration of certain metabolites, electrolytes, proteins, and/or drugs in samples of serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and/or other body fluids.

UNSPSC 41115872 Clinical chemistry analyzer, portable (Commodity) spans a narrow slice of state and local health procurement—portable diagnostic laboratory instruments used primarily by public health departments, emergency medical services, and university health programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring point-of-care diagnostic equipment and related support services: the State of Illinois Department of Public Health is under contract for Clear Dx System instruments with reagent supply and manufacturer service; the City of Austin procures rapid HIV test kits; and Lamar University in Texas is acquiring a Computerized Dynamic Posturography and Motion Rehabilitation Simulator System. The issuing bodies span state health departments, municipal health agencies, county EMS operations, county school districts, and university facilities management. Beyond clinical chemistry, the code appears to cover a broader array of portable diagnostic and rehabilitation equipment when tagged by state procurement offices, though the recent opportunities show limited pure clinical chemistry activity.

Issuing-body activity clusters in state health laboratories and municipal public health divisions in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Minnesota, with secondary activity from county EMS programs (Williamson County, Bryan County, Cobb County School District) and higher education institutions. The State of Illinois Department of Public Health issued a sole-source notice of intent to award (September 4, 2026 comment deadline, contract value $1,904,475.72 over two years through December 2028) for Clear Dx System instruments, reagent bundles, and service at Chicago and Springfield laboratories, funded through federal dollars with cumulative prior expenditures to the incumbent exceeding $4.4 million. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP for Physical Health Products and Related Services (due October 20, 2026) establishing a contracting vehicle for participating entities across multiple states. The code shows sparse recent activity in pure clinical chemistry; most equipment solicitations under this code are for adjacent diagnostic modalities such as cardiac monitors, AEDs, and rehabilitation systems rather than chemistry analyzers per se.
