UNSPSC 41116012: Protein analyzer reagents

UNSPSC 41116012 Protein analyzer reagents is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory testing reagents, supplies, and analytical services used in clinical and forensic drug-screening operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for drug-screening and diagnostic laboratory services, including immunoassay reagents, confirmatory testing reagents (LC/MS/MS and GC/MS), specimen collection materials, and associated laboratory consumables. Issuing bodies include county health and criminal-justice agencies, mental-health authorities, and regional health care systems. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Collin County Health Care Services, and The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD represent active buyers in the recent opportunity set, indicating a mix of corrections-focused, primary-care, and behavioral-health procurement patterns. Vendors must maintain laboratory certification from SAMHSA, CAP, or equivalent state regulatory bodies and comply with CLIA, HIPAA, and applicable state requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, particularly in the Houston and North Dallas corridors. Collin County posted two overlapping opportunities: an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing (RFP 2026-327, due July 23, 2026, estimated value $600,000 over two years with three optional renewals) emphasizing immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation of approximately 25,031 annual tests across five-panel and six-panel configurations, and an IFB for general laboratory services (IFB #2025-166, due October 2, 2025, estimated annual value $70,000) encompassing 217 different test types with emphasis on metabolic, hematology, and infectious-disease panels. The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD issued an RFP for agency-wide clinical laboratory services (due June 17, 2026) spanning routine and specialized testing across eight facilities in the Houston area, with monthly test volume approximately 2,200 and stringent EMR interface requirements weighting 30 percent of evaluation scoring. All three contracts require electronic result reporting, next-day or faster turnaround, and vendor-supplied collection materials and equipment at no additional charge.
