UNSPSC 41141623: Lipase

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

UNSPSC 41141623 Lipase (Commodity) does not reflect the state and local procurement activity shown in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope — lipase enzymes as biochemical reagents — appears disconnected from the laboratory consumables, diagnostic kits, and analytical standards state and local health agencies are actually buying under this designation. Recent opportunities solicited by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Mississippi State Department of Health, University of Texas Health Science Center, City of Philadelphia, and State of California span next-generation sequencing consumables (respiratory pathogen detection kits, whole genome sequencing reagent bundles), solid phase extraction disks for drinking water testing, culture media for foodborne pathogen detection, chromatography columns and chemical standards for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance testing, mycobacterial diagnostic reagents, and forensic analytical spiking solutions. These procurements center on microbial surveillance, clinical diagnostics, and environmental testing infrastructure rather than lipase-specific applications. The issuing bodies include state health departments (Texas HHSC/DSHS, Mississippi MSDH), university research centers (UTHSA), municipal procurement offices (Philadelphia), and state purchasing agencies (California).

Activity concentrates in Texas, where HHSC issues frequent competitive sealed bids (IFBs) for sequencing consumables, extraction disks, and analytical standards with response deadlines typically 7–10 days after posting and historical spending ranges between $25,000 and $90,000 per procurement. Mississippi's Department of Health issued two sole-source procurements in April 2026 for Clear Labs and Illumina sequencing reagents totaling approximately $620,000 combined, while UTHSA conducted an RFP in May 2026 for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with pricing structured on MSRP discounts. The City of Philadelphia micro-purchased extraction columns in May 2026 under a $43,000 threshold, and California posted RFBs for mycobacterial reagents and certified forensic spiking solutions in April 2026. The code shows persistent tagging misalignment with actual procurement scope; bidders should verify UNSPSC alignment before pursuing opportunities listed under 41141623.
