UNSPSC 41116160: Transplant diagnostics reagent or solution

Reagent, solution or stain utilized for manual methodologies in immunoserology and HLA typing specific to transplant diagnostics platforms

UNSPSC 41116160 Transplant diagnostics reagent or solution, a Commodity code, encompasses rapid diagnostic test kits and laboratory reagents for infectious-disease screening, particularly HIV, syphilis, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing supplied to state and local health departments, correctional agencies, and public health laboratories. State and local governments procure these items under routine contracts and emergency sole-source awards to support public health surveillance, offender testing programs, and clinical laboratory operations. The issuing bodies include state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county corrections and health services agencies (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Collin County Health Care Services, Gwinnett County), and municipal public health programs (City of Austin Public Health). The mix reflects both centralized state procurement for high-volume diagnostic infrastructure and decentralized county and city purchasing for localized testing demand.

Recent activity spans Illinois, Texas, and Georgia. The Illinois Department of Public Health has posted multiple procurements for Abbott HIV/Syphilis reagents and NG/CT (gonorrhea/chlamydia) test kits, including an emergency sole-source award to Abbott Laboratories Inc. totaling $38,079.50 (May 2026) and a change order increasing annual NG/CT testing from 15,000 to 25,000 tests and kits from 15,000 to 30,000 units, raising the contract ceiling by $375,000 to $900,000 over five years (due October 13, 2026). The City of Austin released two consecutive IFBs for Abbott Determine HIV test kits (375 kits annually estimated) with responses due July 17 and September 3, 2026. Collin County issued an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug-testing services (approximately 25,031 annual tests, estimated value $600,000, due July 23, 2026) and an earlier IFB for general laboratory services (estimated $70,000 annually, due October 2, 2025). Gwinnett County posted an RFP for drug-testing supplies compatible with an existing drugs-of-abuse analyzer (due October 14, 2026), though the source does not specify volumes or contract value. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited laboratory testing services across nine classifications (due May 13, 2026), though detailed scope and volumes are not identified in available materials.
