UNSPSC 41116133: Molecular biology test kits or supplies

UNSPSC 41116133 Molecular biology test kits or supplies is a Commodity code representing diagnostic assays, reagents, and consumable supplies that state and local government laboratories and public health agencies deploy for nucleic acid extraction, pathogen detection, and disease testing in clinical and epidemiological settings. Recent opportunities show state health departments, school districts, and public universities purchasing these materials for foreign animal disease surveillance, clinical laboratory diagnostics, and specialized research applications where equipment-specific reagent kits and proprietary test platforms drive procurement decisions.

The issuing bodies span state departments of health and agriculture, school districts, and state-affiliated universities. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is soliciting reagents and diagnostic assays for USDA-approved foreign animal disease testing on livestock, salmonids, and companion animals through a single-source agreement with Indical Bioscience, Inc., estimated at $50,000 to $55,000 for one year through June 30, 2027, with competing vendor information due July 17, 2026. The Florida Department of Health, Division of Disease Control and Health Protection procured annual maintenance, reagents, and testing supplies for Hologic Panther instruments supporting STI and NAAT testing across laboratory locations under a two-year single-source contract valued at $2,897,905.00, with vendor information due April 23, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Florida state health and agriculture departments, with procurement patterns driven by equipment-specific reagent compatibility and USDA or manufacturer sole-source approval requirements. Single-source and sole-manufacturer determinations dominate the code's recent activity, reflecting the specialized and proprietary nature of molecular diagnostic platforms.
