UNSPSC 41131714: Hemoglobin a2assay

In this classification a hemoglobin A2 assay is a device used to determine the hemoglobin A2 content of human blood. The measurement of hemoglobin A2 is used in the diagnosis of the thalassemias (hereditary hemolytic anemias characterized by decreased synthesis of one or more types of hemoglobin polypeptide chains) US FDA regulates Hemoglobin a2assay under 21 CFR 864.7400 and under FDA product code LGL.

UNSPSC 41131714 Hemoglobin a2assay is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reflect a much broader scope than the code's nominal name suggests. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Gwinnett County Georgia, Benton County Oregon, and the City of Charlotte are soliciting drug testing services—specimen collection, immunoassay screening, confirmation analysis, and urinalysis testing—rather than hemoglobin a2 assays specifically. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is procuring laboratory consumables and reagents for DNA analysis and drug screening, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is bidding on Implied Consent Blood Draw Kits, Pinellas County Florida is acquiring certified reference drug standards for forensic analysis, and Bernalillo County is seeking occupational medical health services including pre-employment screenings. The issuing bodies span county community supervision departments, county health services, county forensic laboratories, city public safety operations, and state agencies, with procurement notices issued as RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. Collin County Health Care Services also posted an IFB for general laboratory services (diagnostic, monitoring, and screening across 200+ test types) estimated at $70,000 annually, distinct from the drug-testing focus of most other opportunities in this set.

The geographic spread includes Texas (Collin County, Texas Comptroller), Georgia (Gwinnett County), Oregon (Benton County, State of Oregon), North Carolina (City of Charlotte), Florida (Seminole County, Pinellas County), New Mexico (Bernalillo County), and Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison). Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's RFP 2026-327 for Offender Specimen Collection and Drug Testing Services (due July 23, 2026, estimated value $600,000, two-year term with three optional one-year renewals), Benton County's RFQ SC0200300017156 for urinalysis testing to support the Family Treatment Court Program (due July 7, 2026, one-year term with optional renewals to five years maximum), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies including drug-screening reagents (due October 20, 2026, initial term through October 31, 2027 with three one-year renewal options). The code shows strong recent activity in drug-testing procurement and forensic laboratory supplies, though the nominal hemoglobin a2 assay code designation does not align with the work actually being solicited.
