UNSPSC 41141619: Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes

In this classification, this entry connotes a Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes enzyme that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141619 Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's abstract nomenclature suggests clinical or diagnostic enzyme assays, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve laboratory reagents, consumables, and instrumentation for pathogen detection, wastewater surveillance, water quality testing, and whole genome sequencing — none of which align with lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme testing. The mismatch between code and scope is consistent across all recent solicitations in the opportunity block. State and local procurement bodies posting under this code include health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Mississippi State Department of Health), higher education institutions (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), cities (Philadelphia), and state agencies (California). The issuing bodies skew toward public health laboratories and environmental testing programs rather than clinical or diagnostic service providers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania, with Texas dominating the record through the Department of State Health Services and HHSC. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's Invitation for Bids HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026; due May 19, 2026) for next-generation sequencing consumables and respiratory pathogen detection kits to support wastewater surveillance; HHSC's IFB HHS0017132 (posted June 2, 2026; due June 2, 2026) for culture media products for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing; and the Mississippi State Department of Health's sole source procurement (posted April 28, 2026; objection deadline May 14, 2026) for Illumina whole genome sequencing kits and reagents. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted an RFP (745-26-P19, due June 4, 2026) for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog supplied through punchout e-procurement systems. The code shows active procurement volume but carries the significant signal of systematic misclassification — the UNSPSC taxonomic mapping to this code does not match buyer intent or work performed.
