UNSPSC 41116024: Transplant analyzer reagent or kit

Reagent or kit utilized for immunoserology and HLA typing specific to automated transplant diagnostics platforms

UNSPSC 41116024 Transplant analyzer reagent or kit is a Commodity code covering laboratory testing supplies and reagents designed for specialized analytical instruments used in food safety, water quality, environmental microbiology, pathogen detection, and diagnostic testing. State and local procurement activity under this code spans department of health laboratories, county health agencies, university research centers, and city public health divisions. The work solicited includes consumables and reagent kits for instruments such as drugs of abuse analyzers, next-generation sequencing systems, gas chromatography equipment, solid-phase extraction devices, culture media analyzers, and whole-genome sequencing platforms. Reagents and consumables are typically ordered on annual or as-needed contracts with firm, fixed pricing and delivery to specified laboratory loading docks or research facilities. Recent solicitations emphasize compatibility with existing instrument systems, compliance with EPA, FDA, and laboratory accreditation standards (ISO 17025, CAP, TNI), and minimum expiration dating of eight months upon receipt. Evaluation criteria consistently prioritize specification compliance, delivery performance, and best value rather than lowest price alone.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia, driven by state health department procurement for drinking-water testing, foodborne-illness surveillance, wastewater pathogen monitoring, and clinical diagnostics. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, on behalf of the Department of State Health Services, has issued multiple IFBs including HHS0017881 (lab supplies for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing, responses due August 26, 2026, historical value $25,000–$50,000), HHS0017272 (respiratory pathogen detection kits for wastewater surveillance, responses due May 19, 2026), and HHS0017271 (gas chromatography columns and chemical standards for drinking-water analysis, responses due May 12, 2026). The Mississippi State Department of Health posted sole-source notices for Illumina kits and reagents for whole-genome sequencing (estimated cost $393,667.98, objections due May 14, 2026) and Clear Labs reagents for SARS-CoV-2 analysis (estimated cost $226,072.00, objections due May 14, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited drug testing supplies for a drugs-of-abuse analyzer on annual contract (responses due October 14, 2026). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued an RFP for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog (proposals due June 4, 2026, baseline volume 8,768 line items ordered in prior year).
