UNSPSC 41116019: Hormone analyzer reagent

Positive identification system of samples and reagents for hormones whether their origin is natural and or synthetic. Example: Triiodothyronine hormone T3 total for 200 determinations.

UNSPSC 41116019 Hormone analyzer reagent is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure laboratory diagnostic consumables, reagents, and extraction kits used in clinical and environmental surveillance testing — including pathogen detection kits for respiratory and foodborne illness monitoring, solid phase extraction disks for water quality analysis, culture media for food and water safety testing, and molecular biology standards and supplies for gas chromatography and sequencing applications. Recent state procurement shows a dominant presence from Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services, which has posted multiple competitive bids for sequencing reagents, culture media, extraction columns, and chemical standards supporting drinking water compliance and wastewater surveillance. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, the Mississippi State Department of Health, the City of Philadelphia, and the State of California also appear as soliciting bodies, though with lower frequency in the recent activity block. Work solicited under this code spans both competitive and sole-source procurements: the Texas HHSC issued an Invitation for Bids in May 2026 (HHS0017272) for Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel kits and Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Enrichment kits supporting wastewater pathogen detection, with historical spending guidance of $35,050 to $90,000; the same agency issued IFB HHS0017132 in May 2026 for R&F brand culture media (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and Enterobacter sakazakii detection) with historical value of $187,340 for FY2026; the Mississippi State Department of Health designated sole-source procurements in April 2026 for Clear Labs kits and reagents ($226,072 estimated) and Illumina sequencing reagents ($393,668 estimated) to support whole genome sequencing operations at the Mississippi Public Health Laboratory.

Geographic concentration centers on Texas, which accounts for the plurality of recent postings across HHSC and DSHS procurement offices in Austin, with secondary activity in Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio conducted an RFP (745-26-P19) due June 4, 2026, for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog covering antibodies, chromatography systems, genomics reagents, and hematology products ordered through punchout catalogs, with prior-year demand of approximately 8,768 line items. The State of California posted two brand-name-only procurements in April 2026 — one for MyCodeDR reagents (RFB IS-26200845, due April 29) and one for Cerilliant certified spiking solutions (RFB 26200758-1, due April 13) — both incorporating Certified Business Enterprise set-asides. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for Clean Thru Extraction Columns (May 30, 2026, $43,000 ceiling) awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Texas solicitations consistently require firm, fixed pricing in U.S. dollars, completion of extensive state certifications and affirmations (including debarment, E-Verify, human trafficking, and Texas-specific prohibitions), and allow price adjustments only at agency discretion tied to Consumer Price Index or federal minimum wage increases; delivery windows typically narrow to morning hours with vendor responsibility for overtime and storage charges.
