UNSPSC 41141600: Clinical chemistry enzymes

This class includes chemical enzymes employed in a clinical or laboratory setting.

UNSPSC 41141600 Clinical chemistry enzymes is a Class code covering reagents, test kits, and reference materials used in forensic drug analysis, toxicology screening, and laboratory method validation in state and local public health and criminal justice facilities. State and local governments buy Direct ELISA testing kits for substance screening (cannabinoids, opiates, PCP, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, oxycodone, and related compounds), certified drug reference standards with documented purity and accreditation (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 17034:2016 compliance), and supporting reagents such as phosphate-buffered saline solution. The issuing bodies include state law-enforcement crime labs (Texas Department of Public Safety), state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Florida Department of Law Enforcement), county forensic laboratories (Pinellas County, Florida), and specialized state procurement offices. Work is solicited through both informal quotes and formal invitations for bids, with quantities typically ranging from single-digit to thirty-unit line items per specification.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, driven by forensic laboratory accreditation requirements and toxicology screening mandates. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted an IFB on July 9, 2026, for immunalysis reagent kits across twelve drug-testing line items with response due July 23, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida, in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, issued an Invitation to Quote on April 23, 2026, for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards (ranging from 3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine to mitragynine analogs) with delivery required by June 1, 2026, and federal funding of $72,126.85 from the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a competitive IFB on February 10, 2026, for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits for use in the Department of State Health Services laboratory, with historical procurement value between $25,050.00 and $30,000.00 in Fiscal Year 2025. Pinellas County extends Certified Small Business Enterprise preference, with priority consideration for SBEs responding within the first five business days of posting.
