UNSPSC 41122115: Tissue culture kit

UNSPSC 41122115 Tissue culture kit is a Commodity code covering laboratory supplies and reagents used in clinical, environmental, and pathogen-detection testing by state health departments, transportation agencies, water authorities, and local laboratories. State and local governments procure under this code a diverse range of consumables and specialized reagents for diagnostic and monitoring work: culture media and collection kits for microbial analysis, wastewater surveillance reagents for pathogen detection, synthetic viral controls for assay validation, magnetic hydrogel particles for sample concentration in environmental testing, hybridization capture panels for genomic sequencing, instrument-specific reagents and service agreements for laboratory analyzers, and consumable supplies (gloves, wipes, columns, detectors) supporting ongoing analytical operations. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning state health and environmental departments, state transportation agencies, county and municipal water quality programs, and specialized genomic surveillance and laboratory services divisions. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment appears as a repeat buyer of specialized reagents and instruments, with multiple recent sole-source procurements for vendor-specific platforms and consumables.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Colorado, Utah, Mississippi, California, South Dakota, and Alaska. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB HHS0018026 for standards, consumables, and instrument parts supporting drinking-water analysis, due October 9, 2026; the State of Utah Division of Purchasing IFB AK27100 for buccal swab DNA collection kits, due September 16, 2026; the City of Arlington, Texas requirements contract for laboratory supplies and chemicals, due September 17, 2026; and multiple Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment sole-source awards for Qiagen wastewater surveillance reagents ($3.14 million), Standard BioTools genomic sequencing equipment and reagents ($2.3 million plus $1 million for reagent expansion), Ceres Nanosciences microbiome particles ($3.5 million), and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls ($2.3 million), all posted May 2026. A South Dakota RFB for laboratory consumables, reagents, and chemicals posted September 10, 2026, shows demand but substantive details are unavailable. Most activity is competitive fixed-price IFB and RFB work with firm-pricing requirements and annual contract terms, though several high-value specialized reagent procurements proceed as sole-source awards justified by equipment compatibility and vendor exclusivity.
