UNSPSC 41141603: Alanine amino-transferase

In this classification, this entry connotes a Alanine amino-transferase enzyme that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141603 Alanine amino-transferase, a Commodity code, shows limited direct alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The UNSPSC taxonomy entry nominally describes a single biochemical substrate or reagent product; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span a much broader set of laboratory consumables, diagnostic kits, and analytical chemistry supplies used in public health, environmental testing, and clinical diagnostics. The issuing bodies include state health departments (Texas HHSC/DSHS, Mississippi State Department of Health), a university health center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), a state laboratory program (California), and a municipal government (City of Philadelphia). The work being solicited ranges from next-generation sequencing reagent kits for respiratory pathogen and wastewater surveillance, to culture media for food and water safety testing, to solid-phase extraction disks for EPA-regulated drinking water analysis, to mycobacterial diagnostic reagents and certified chemical spiking solutions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017272 (due May 19, 2026) for consumable respiratory pathogen detection kits with Illumina viral surveillance panels supporting wastewater surveillance; the Mississippi State Department of Health sole-source procurements for Clear Labs and Illumina whole genome sequencing reagents (due May 14, 2026) to support foodborne illness outbreak detection and SARS-CoV-2 variant monitoring; and the University of Texas Health Science Center RFP (due June 4, 2026) for a comprehensive biotech research, clinical diagnostics, and equipment catalog supplying routine departmental orders via electronic punchout.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Texas, where HHSC/DSHS has posted multiple IFBs for laboratory standards, consumables, and instrumentation supporting drinking water and environmental surveillance. Mississippi State Department of Health pursued sole-source procurements for sequencing reagents in April 2026. California issued brand-name-only RFBs for mycobacterial reagents and Cerilliant certified spiking solutions in April 2026. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio RFP signals ongoing demand for catalog-based biotech and diagnostic supplies across university departments. The City of Philadelphia micro-purchase for extraction columns (due May 30, 2026) represents isolated municipal activity. Historically estimated contract values for similar goods range from $25,050 to $393,667, depending on the specific consumable and laboratory scope. The code appears to capture laboratory reagents and consumables tangentially rather than as a primary taxonomic fit; state and local procurement offices may be applying it broadly to any biochemical or analytical product, creating misalignment between the UNSPSC name and the actual scope of work being bought. Bidders should confirm code alignment with individual solicitations and treat recent activity as indicative of demand in public health laboratory operations, environmental testing, and clinical diagnostics rather than as a stable or narrow product category.
