UNSPSC 41116206: Diagnostic beverages for laboratory testing

UNSPSC 41116206 Diagnostic beverages for laboratory testing is a Commodity code that in practice captures a far broader range of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and laboratory supply procurement than its abstract name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span naloxone and drug deactivation systems for county health programs, biotech research and clinical diagnostics equipment catalogs for university health systems, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products for statewide cooperative purchasing alliances. State and local health agencies, university health science centers, and cooperative purchasing organizations (particularly those coordinating across multiple states and municipalities) are the primary issuing bodies. The work being solicited includes standalone pharmaceutical products, diagnostic reagents and equipment, laboratory supplies, and related scientific instruments ordered through e-procurement systems and punchout catalogs by healthcare and research departments.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Seminole County, Florida released IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a July 26, 2026 response deadline. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P19 in May 2026 for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics equipment catalog with a June 4, 2026 due date, based on approximately 8,768 line items ordered in the prior contract year. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, administering the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), posted RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities in Minnesota, Oregon, and other alliance members, with a March 26, 2026 response deadline and July 1, 2026 contract effective date.
