UNSPSC 41116206: Diagnostic beverages for laboratory testing

UNSPSC 41116206 Diagnostic beverages for laboratory testing is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch: Seminole County, Florida's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems is a public-health supply procurement unrelated to laboratory diagnostic beverages, while the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's RFP for a biotech research and clinical diagnostics equipment catalog encompasses a broad range of laboratory supplies and instruments—antibodies, chromatography systems, flow cytometry instruments, genomics reagents, immunoassay kits, molecular biology reagents, and spectroscopy equipment—that extend well beyond diagnostic beverages. The code appears to see little genuine activity in the state and local marketplace under its intended product category.

Recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning a county health authority (Seminole County, Florida) and a public health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), with geographic activity limited to Florida and Texas in the recent record. The UTHSA RFP, posted May 7, 2026 with a June 4, 2026 response deadline, is the larger procurement vehicle, establishing a one-year contract with three one-year renewal options and baseline demand of approximately 8,768 line items ordered in the prior year, though UTHSA reserves the right to make multiple awards and does not guarantee volume. Proposers to UTHSA must complete a Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting plan, meet TX-RAMP Level II certification, maintain comprehensive insurance including $10 million cyber liability coverage, and integrate with Jaggaer e-procurement systems. Business development professionals should treat this code as a low-activity category and verify UNSPSC coding accuracy when opportunities are tagged to it.
