UNSPSC 41116134: Molecular biology reagents or solutions or stains

UNSPSC 41116134 Molecular biology reagents or solutions or stains is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure laboratory testing supplies, diagnostic reagents, and related technical services for public health, criminal justice, and environmental applications. Recent solicitations show this code covering STI screening and confirmation reagents, drug-testing immunoassay and mass spectrometry supplies, and stormwater monitoring evaluation services — a broader mix than the code name alone suggests, reflecting real procurement scope across epidemiology, substance-abuse enforcement, and environmental assessment. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county corrections and community supervision agencies, and county environmental management offices. The Florida Department of Health's Division of Disease Control and Health Protection and Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department appear as recent major buyers.

Activity is geographically concentrated in Florida and Texas. The Florida Department of Health posted a two-year single-source procurement on April 2, 2026 for Hologic Panther instrument maintenance, reagents, and test kits (Aptima GC/CT, HIV NAAT, HCV NAAT) supporting STI testing, with an estimated value of $2.9 million. Collin County issued an RFP on July 9, 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—an estimated $600,000 annual contract covering immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, with proposals due July 23, 2026. Escambia County posted a separate solicitation on July 15, 2026 for Bio-Health Pod Systems stormwater technology demonstration and evaluation with a response date of August 14, 2026, though this opportunity appears tangentially related to the code's molecular biology scope. Recent procurement activity is moderate and event-driven, tied to state-funded initiatives and annual contract renewals rather than continuous demand signals.
