UNSPSC 41116133: Molecular biology test kits or supplies

UNSPSC 41116133 Molecular biology test kits or supplies is a Commodity code covering diagnostic and laboratory reagents, nucleic acid extraction consumables, sequencing supplies, and related testing materials that state and local governments procure for public health, environmental, and educational laboratory operations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code spanning molecular diagnostics for foreign animal disease detection, proprietary sequencing reagents for genomic analysis, indoor air quality microbiological testing supplies, and K-12 science education consumables. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is the dominant issuing body in recent activity, pursuing single-source agreements for vendor-specific laboratory supplies including Illumina sequencing reagents, BioMérieux testing kits, and Indical Bioscience pathogen detection assays for USDA and NAHLN-approved foreign animal disease testing. School districts including Cobb County School District (Georgia) and Pinellas County School District (Florida) also solicit under this code for science instruction supplies and indoor air quality microbiological analysis services. Issuing bodies span state regulatory agencies, county and municipal school districts, and universities, with procurement driven by specialized regulatory requirements, proprietary equipment ecosystems, and curriculum-aligned laboratory support.

Florida dominates recent activity, with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services posting multiple sole-source notices for molecular biology and diagnostic supplies between June and September 2026, including reagent kits for MiSeq sequencing ($40,000 to $75,000 estimated value), BioMérieux laboratory supplies, and Indical Bioscience pathogen detection kits ($50,000 to $55,000 estimated value through June 30, 2027). Georgia activity includes Cobb County School District's IFB B26128 (due June 16, 2026) for science specimens, micromedia, and supplies across 112 schools with approximately $175,000 annual estimated expenditure and payment terms of net 30 days. Pinellas County School District, Florida, issued ITB 26-CD-039 (due November 6, 2026) for indoor air quality services including microbiological testing and laboratory analysis with approximately $100,000 estimated contract value and a term commencing December 16, 2026. Oregon state activity appeared briefly in July 2026 but was focused on wildlife acoustic monitoring devices unrelated to molecular biology supplies. Single-source procurement predominates in state agency activity, reflecting vendor-specific reagent and proprietary equipment constraints, while school districts pursue competitive procurement for consumable science supplies with multi-year renewal options.
