UNSPSC 41116025: Flame photometer analyzer reagent or kit

Reagent or kit utilized for the quantitation of sodium, potassium, chloride and lithium in serum, plasma or aqueous solutions by automated flame photometric analysis

UNSPSC 41116025 Flame photometer analyzer reagent or kit is a Commodity code covering laboratory reagents, kits, and consumables used in analytical testing across state and local public health, environmental, and clinical diagnostic programs. State and local governments procure these products primarily for food safety, drinking water compliance, wastewater surveillance, and communicable disease testing. Recent solicitations show demand for drug testing supplies compatible with drugs-of-abuse analyzers, EPA and FDA-approved reagents for total coliform and E. coli detection in drinking water and dairy water, respiratory pathogen detection kits for wastewater surveillance, whole genome sequencing reagents and kits for foodborne illness and SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking, culture media for detecting specific bacterial pathogens, solid phase extraction disks for drinking water testing under EPA methods, and gas chromatography standards and consumables for organic chemistry analysis. Issuing bodies include state health departments (Texas Department of State Health Services, Mississippi State Department of Health), county public health agencies (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and specialized state procurement divisions. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio also solicits laboratory supplies and reagents through competitive catalog procurement. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Mississippi, with additional procurement activity in Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Representative recent opportunities reflect this scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017881 on behalf of the Department of State Health Services for laboratory supplies and quality control materials compatible with Biomerieux instruments, including VIDAS QC test kits and API Listeria test systems, with responses due August 26, 2026, and historical annual value between $25,000 and $50,000. The Mississippi State Department of Health issued a sole-source procurement notice for Illumina kits and reagents to support whole genome sequencing operations, with an objection deadline of May 14, 2026, and an estimated procurement cost of $393,667.98. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also solicited consumable respiratory pathogen detection kits for wastewater surveillance (IFB HHS0017272), with responses due May 19, 2026, and historical annual value between $35,050 and $90,000. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted RFQ BL144-26 for drug testing supplies compatible with a drugs-of-abuse analyzer on an annual contract basis, with proposals due October 14, 2026.
