UNSPSC 41116159: Transplant diagnostics test kit

Test kit utilized for manual methodologies in immunoserology and HLA testing specific to transplant diagnostics platforms

UNSPSC 41116159 Transplant diagnostics test kit is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are predominantly drug testing, HIV screening, Syphilis testing, and forensic laboratory analysis services—none of which are transplant diagnostics test kits. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the services state and local buyers are actually procuring, suggesting either systematic miscoding in the source system or that this UNSPSC designation is being applied to clinical laboratory testing services more broadly rather than to transplant-specific diagnostic products. The issuing bodies span state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county corrections and supervision departments (Collin County), municipal public health programs (City of Austin), state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and higher education (University of Houston). Work solicited includes rapid HIV screening kits for public health programs, HIV and Syphilis reagents for state laboratory operations, offender drug testing services with lab certification requirements, forensic stain analysis with expert witness capability, and general clinical blood chemistry testing services.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Illinois, with individual opportunities from the City of Austin (IFB for Abbott HIV test kits, due July 17, 2026), Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services covering approximately 25,031 annual tests, due July 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewals), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (RFP for forensic analysis services including urine and feces stain identification and expert witness testimony, due May 13, 2026), Illinois Department of Public Health (emergency sole-source procurements from Abbott Laboratories for HIV and Syphilis reagents totaling $38,079.50, and IFB for five-year Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis screening assays and instrumentation in Jackson County, due March 16, 2026, with estimated annual volumes of 3,300 Hepatitis B, 3,000 Hepatitis C, 13,200 HIV, and 11,000 Syphilis tests), and University of Houston (RFP for clinical diagnostic laboratory services and blood chemistry reagents for its Student Health Center, due March 24, 2026). The code shows little activity aligned with transplant diagnostics procurement in state and local government.
