UNSPSC 41116170: Immunohematology quality control or calibrator or standard

Quality controls or calibrators or standards for immunohematology testing procedures including blood grouping, reverse grouping, phenotyping, cross matching, antibody screening, antibody identification, direct AHG tests, and single antigen screens.

UNSPSC 41116170 Immunohematology quality control or calibrator or standard (Commodity) describes HIV and Syphilis testing reagents, calibrators, control kits, and related diagnostic supplies that state and local health departments, criminal justice agencies, and public health programs procure to maintain laboratory testing operations for disease surveillance and inmate screening. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring Abbott-manufactured HIV/Syphilis reagent kits, calibrators, control solutions, and consumables for automated analyzer systems; Collin County's offender drug testing RFP and the Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency procurements for Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR components dominate recent activity. Issuing bodies include state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Laboratories), county criminal justice agencies (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department), and municipal public health programs (City of Austin), with the code seeing concentrated activity among a small set of repeat buyers purchasing high-volume testing supplies for critical public health and criminal justice screening operations.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (RFP due July 23, 2026, estimated contract value $600,000 for approximately 25,031 annual tests over two years with optional three one-year renewals), the City of Austin's IFB 9100AAM1023 for Abbott Determine HIV 1/2 test kits and controls (IFB due July 17, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency procurement (26482DPHOFCDIB52638) for Abbott reagents, calibrators, control kits, and maintenance services for the Carbondale Laboratory ($38,079.50, due August 18, 2026). The Illinois Department of Public Health's February 2026 IFB 26482DPHOFCDIB50489 for a five-year contract covering Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and Syphilis screening assays across Jackson County (with estimated annual volumes of 3,300 Hepatitis B tests, 3,000 Hepatitis C tests, 13,200 HIV tests, and 11,000 Syphilis tests) reflects sustained procurement demand for automated multi-analyte screening platforms and reagent supply agreements at the state level.
