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, a Commodity code, covers laboratory diagnostic consumables and reagents used by state and local health departments and research institutions for pathogen detection, surveillance, and molecular analysis — including next-generation sequencing reagent kits, culture media, solid phase extraction disks, and specialized assay materials for wastewater monitoring, foodborne illness detection, and clinical specimen screening. State and local procurement under this code spans state health departments (Texas HHSC/DSHS, Mississippi MSDH, California), university research centers (University of Texas Health Science Center), and municipal agencies (City of Philadelphia), with Texas health agencies representing the largest recent concentration of activity. The scope of actual purchasing diverges significantly from the code's nominal "transplant" framing; recent solicitations emphasize infectious-disease surveillance reagents, environmental testing consumables, and sequencing infrastructure supplies rather than transplant-related products.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of State Health Services dominate recent activity, posting multiple competitive procurements for next-generation sequencing consumables, culture media, and extraction materials between February and June 2026. Representative opportunities include IFB HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, due May 19, 2026) for Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Enrichment Kit Sets and Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 kits supporting wastewater surveillance; IFB HHS0017132 (posted June 2, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for culture media products used in food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing with historical value $187,340 for FY2026; and IFB HHS0017287 (posted May 26, 2026, due May 13, 2026) for Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 solid phase extraction disks for drinking water testing under EPA methods, with historical value between $40,000 and $90,000 for FY2026. Mississippi MSDH conducted two sole-source procurements in April 2026 for Clear Labs kits and Illumina sequencing reagents supporting whole genome sequencing of foodborne and SARS-CoV-2 specimens, totaling $226,072 and $393,667.98 respectively. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P19 (due June 4, 2026) for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog through Jaggaer e-procurement systems, with baseline demand of approximately 8,768 line items ordered during the prior contract year. California posted two brand-name-restricted requests for bid in April 2026: MyCodeDR reagents for mycobacterial culture identification and Cerilliant certified spiking solutions for forensic analytical applications. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Mississippi, and California, with secondary presence in Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia micro-purchase for extraction columns). No set-aside designations are specified in the recent Texas IFBs, though HUB subcontracting plans are encouraged and Texas-specific statutory certifications including E-Verify, human trafficking prohibitions, and boycott restrictions are mandatory across all respondents.
