UNSPSC 41116028: Immunohematology analyzer reagent

Reagents of analyzers to automate all routine immunohematology testing procedures including blood grouping, reverse grouping, phenotyping, cross matching, antibody screening, antibody identification, direct AHG tests, and single antigen screens

UNSPSC 41116028 Immunohematology analyzer reagent is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify laboratory reagents and consumables for analytical instruments, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct match to the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited under or near this code frame a broader pattern of state and local public health laboratory procurement: drug testing supplies for drugs-of-abuse analyzers, culture media and quality control kits for food and water testing, whole genome sequencing reagent bundles, next-generation sequencing consumables for respiratory pathogen and wastewater surveillance, solid phase extraction disks for drinking water compliance testing, and gas chromatography standards and instrument parts. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services, Mississippi State Department of Health) along with a county health department (Gwinnett County, Georgia), a city procurement office (Philadelphia), and a university research center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). The work is highly specialized, driven by public health surveillance and regulatory compliance obligations, and often tied to specific instrument platforms and vendor reagent systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Mississippi, with secondary activity in Georgia and Pennsylvania. The Texas HHSC has posted multiple IFBs since late April 2026 for laboratory consumables and standards: HHS0017271 for organic chemistry standards and instrument parts (responses due May 12, 2026), HHS0017287 for solid phase extraction disks (responses due May 13, 2026), HHS0017132 for culture media products (responses due June 2, 2026), HHS0017272 for respiratory pathogen detection kits supporting wastewater surveillance (responses due May 19, 2026), and HHS0017881 for food, water, and dairy testing lab supplies compatible with Biomerieux instruments (responses due August 26, 2026). Mississippi State Department of Health issued sole-source notices for Idexx Colilert and Colisure reagents (objections due August 24, 2026 at $338,861.98 estimated cost), Clear Labs whole genome sequencing reagent bundles (objections due May 14, 2026 at $226,072.00), and Illumina sequencing kits and reagents (objections due May 14, 2026 at $393,667.98). Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited drug testing supplies for a drugs-of-abuse analyzer (RFQ due October 14, 2026). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted an RFP for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with 8,768 line items ordered in the prior contract year (proposal deadline June 4, 2026). Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase for Clean Thru extraction columns (quotes due May 30, 2026).
