UNSPSC 41141628: Pepsin

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

UNSPSC 41141628 Pepsin is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities posted under this code involve laboratory reagents, diagnostic kits, sequencing consumables, and analytical chemistry supplies—none of which are pepsin or pepsin-containing products. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for respiratory pathogen detection kits, culture media, solid phase extraction disks, gas chromatography standards, and genome sequencing reagents. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio solicited a biotech research and clinical diagnostics equipment catalog through RFP. The Mississippi State Department of Health posted sole source procurements for Clear Labs and Illumina sequencing reagents. The State of California bid out MyCodeDR mycobacterial reagents and Cerilliant certified spiking solutions. The City of Philadelphia requested Clean Thru extraction columns. None of these solicitations involve pepsin or enzymatic digestive products, suggesting a taxonomy misclassification in how state and local procurement offices have tagged their opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania, primarily through state health departments and university health science centers issuing IFBs and RFPs for specialized laboratory consumables and instruments. The dominant issuing bodies are the Texas HHSC on behalf of DSHS (seven solicitations since February 2026), the Mississippi State Department of Health (two sole source procurements in April 2026), and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (one RFP in May 2026). Response dates have ranged from February through June 2026, with historical contract values typically falling between $25,000 and $393,000. Without genuine pepsin-related opportunities in the current posting, the code appears inactive for its nominal commodity class and presents minimal pursuit potential in its current tagged form.
