UNSPSC 41116158: Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ELISA kit

A test kit that uses antibodies and color change to identify a substance

UNSPSC 41116158 Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ELISA kit is a Commodity code covering laboratory diagnostic reagents and analytical systems procured by state public health departments and health agencies for disease screening, population health surveillance, and clinical laboratory operations. State and local governments buy culture media, reagents, testing equipment, and associated consumables under this code to support ongoing laboratory functions across distributed facilities. The issuing bodies are typically state-level health departments and specialized public health agencies rather than municipal or school-district buyers; the code reflects procurement by centralized state laboratory networks serving statewide diagnostic and epidemiological missions.

Recent activity shows solicitations from the State of California Department of Public Health and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. California posted a Request for Bids (RFB-IS-27200117-1) in August 2026 for public health laboratory supplies and media with a September 4, 2026 response deadline, incorporating set-asides for certified small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses under California procurement rules. Texas issued an Invitation for Bids (HHS0017310) in May 2026 for a D-10 Hemoglobin Testing System with Rack Loader for the South Texas Lab in Harlingen, with a May 18, 2026 deadline and historical spending guidance of $45,050 to $80,000 for fiscal year 2025. Both solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, detailed technical compliance, and incumbent-neutral evaluation. Geographic activity concentrates in California and Texas, with procurement patterns suggesting ongoing replacement and supply cycles at established state laboratory infrastructure.
