UNSPSC 41116026: Gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analyzer reagent

Reagent or kit utilized for sample constituent identification in diverse applications by automated gas-liquid and/or mass spectrometry testing systems

UNSPSC 41116026 Gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analyzer reagent, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized analytical laboratory reagents and consumables that state and local health departments, universities, and municipal testing laboratories procure to support chromatographic analysis, genomic sequencing, and microbial surveillance operations. State and local solicitations under this code reflect actual purchases of next-generation sequencing consumables for respiratory pathogen detection, solid-phase extraction disks for EPA drinking water compliance testing, mycobacterial culture and identification reagents for diagnostic work, certified analytical spiking solutions for forensic applications, and gas chromatography columns and chemical standards for organic chemistry analysis in water safety testing. The issuing-body mix spans state health departments (Texas HHSC/DSHS, Mississippi Department of Health, California), university health science centers (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), and municipal testing laboratories (City of Philadelphia). Texas health and human services agencies dominate recent activity, appearing across multiple solicitations for wastewater surveillance kits, drinking water testing consumables, and analytical standards.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas and Mississippi, with secondary activity in California and Philadelphia. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, response deadline May 19, 2026) for Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 kits and Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR enrichment kit sets supporting wastewater surveillance; Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017271 (posted May 19, 2026, response deadline May 12, 2026) for gas chromatography columns, inlet seals, electron multipliers, and chemical standards used by the Organic Chemistry Group in Safe Drinking Water Act compliance analysis; the Mississippi State Department of Health's sole-source procurements for Clear Labs and Illumina whole-genome sequencing reagent bundles (posted April 28, 2026, objection deadline May 14, 2026) totaling $619,739.98 combined for foodborne illness outbreak detection and SARS-CoV-2 variant monitoring; and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's RFP 745-26-P19 (posted May 7, 2026, proposals due June 4, 2026) for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog including chromatography systems, genomics reagents, and immunoassay kits. Historical contract values for similar goods in Texas range from $25,050 to $90,000 per award, with the Mississippi sole-source procurements representing significantly larger initial commitments driven by multi-year reagent bundles for specialized sequencing platforms.
