UNSPSC 41116022: Pipettor delivery calibration and verification analyzer reagent

Reagent or kit utilized for automated pipettor calibration and volumetric delivery verification

UNSPSC 41116022 Pipettor delivery calibration and verification analyzer reagent is a Commodity code that captures laboratory consumables and reagents designed for use with specific analytical instruments — chiefly testing supplies, quality control materials, and culture media that state and local health laboratories procure to support drug screening, pathogen detection, food and water safety, and environmental microbiology work. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying drug-testing supplies compatible with existing drugs-of-abuse analyzers; EPA and FDA-approved coliform and E. coli detection reagents; respiratory pathogen identification kits for wastewater surveillance; culture media for detecting Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli O157:H7; solid-phase extraction disks for drinking water analysis; whole genome sequencing reagent bundles; and gas chromatography standards and consumables for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance. Issuing bodies include state health departments (Texas, Mississippi, Georgia), county health jurisdictions (Gwinnett County, Georgia), municipal procurement offices (Philadelphia), and academic medical centers (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). The code sees active recent solicitation activity concentrated in Texas and Mississippi, with additional activity in Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission, procuring on behalf of the Department of State Health Services, has issued multiple IFBs for laboratory reagents and consumables under this code in recent months — IFB HHS0017881 for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing lab supplies (Biomerieux-compatible kits, bacterial strains, saline solution; responses due August 26, 2026; historical value $25,000–$50,000); IFB HHS0017132 for R&F brand culture media for E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria detection (responses due June 2, 2026; historical value $187,340 for FY2026); IFB HHS0017287 for Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 solid-phase extraction disks for EPA drinking water methods (responses due May 13, 2026; historical value $40,000–$90,000); and IFB HHS0017271 for gas chromatography columns, inlet seals, and chemical standards for organic chemistry analysis (responses due May 12, 2026; historical value $25,050–$50,000). Mississippi State Department of Health posted sole-source notices for Idexx Colilert and Colisure reagents ($338,861.98 annual cost, objection deadline August 24, 2026), Clear Labs whole genome sequencing reagent bundles ($226,072 total estimated cost, objection deadline May 14, 2026), and Illumina sequencing kits and reagents ($393,667.98 total cost, objection deadline May 14, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited proposals for drug testing supplies compatible with a drugs-of-abuse analyzer on annual contract (RFQ PE77023NONST2027000000764, due October 14, 2026). University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P19 for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog including antibodies, flow cytometry reagents, immunoassay kits, and molecular biology reagents (proposals due June 4, 2026). City of Philadelphia requested quotes for Clean Thru Extraction Columns as a micro purchase (micro purchase B2627232, due May 30, 2026, not to exceed $43,000).
