UNSPSC 41116163: Pipettor delivery manual calibration and verification test kit

Reagent or kit utilized for manual pipettor calibration and volumetric delivery verification

UNSPSC 41116163 Pipettor delivery manual calibration and verification test kit is a Commodity code that addresses laboratory testing supplies and reagents for infectious disease screening. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect actual procurement of HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing kits and related diagnostic reagents rather than pipettor calibration equipment specifically. State and local health departments and correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies, including the Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Laboratories, the City of Austin Public Health Program, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department. The scope of work centers on rapid diagnostic test kits (particularly Abbott Determine HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo kits and fourth-generation combination assays), screening reagents, calibrator and control kits, and automated or manual laboratory testing services for disease surveillance and offender drug and health screening programs.

Illinois and Texas dominate recent activity in this code. The Illinois Department of Public Health issued multiple procurements in early 2026, including an emergency sole-source purchase from Abbott Laboratories for HIV/Syphilis reagents (Solicitation 26482DPHOFCDIB50932, due May 3, 2026, $38,079.50) and an Invitation for Bid for fifth-generation combination screening assays covering HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B and C testing across Jackson County (Solicitation 26482DPHOFCDIB50489, due March 16, 2026). The City of Austin issued an IFB for annual supplies of Abbott Determine HIV rapid test kits and controls (Solicitation IFB9100AAM1023, due July 17, 2026). Collin County, Texas posted an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services encompassing immunoassay screening, LC/MS/MS and GC/MS confirmation, and alternative methodologies including oral fluid and hair testing (Solicitation 2026327, due July 23, 2026, estimated contract value $600,000 over two years with optional renewals). The University of Houston issued an RFP for clinical diagnostic laboratory services including blood chemistry reagents and nonautomated testing (RFP-730-UofH-3109, due March 24, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity relative to the scale of state health infrastructure; many posted solicitations carry mismatch or sparse detail regarding pipettor calibration or verification specifically.
