UNSPSC 41141630: Sorbitol dehydrogenase

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

UNSPSC 41141630 Sorbitol dehydrogenase is a Commodity code that covers laboratory reagents, diagnostic kits, and extraction materials used in state and local public health testing and research operations — not the enzyme itself in its primary biochemical sense, but the consumables and supplies that state and local health agencies actually procure. Recent solicitations show Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA), the State of California, and the City of Philadelphia issuing competitive sealed bids and RFPs for whole genome sequencing reagent kits, wastewater surveillance consumables, culture media test products, solid phase extraction disks, gas chromatography columns and chemical standards, and molecular diagnostic reagents. HHSC dominates recent activity, appearing in at least five separate IFB postings within the past four months. Work spans respiratory pathogen detection kits (Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 kits with 96-sample capacity), foodborne illness WGS testing reagents (Clear Labs and Illumina kits), drinking water quality testing supplies (Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 SPE disks under EPA Methods 525.2 and 508.1), and food and dairy safety culture media products meeting ISO 17025:2017 and CAP standards. Issuing bodies are state health departments, university health science centers, and municipal procurement offices; no school districts, transit authorities, or county governments appear in the recent opportunities block.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Mississippi, with secondary activity in California and Pennsylvania. Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017272 for Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Enrichment Kit Sets and Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 kits (due May 19, 2026), IFB HHS0017132 for R&F brand culture media for E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria detection (due June 2, 2026), and IFB HHS0017271 for gas chromatography columns and chemical standards including trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids (due May 12, 2026). Mississippi MSDH posted sole-source procurements for Clear Labs WGS reagent bundles totaling $226,072 and Illumina WGS kits totaling $393,667.98 (objection deadline May 14, 2026). UTHSA issued RFP 745-26-P19 for a comprehensive Biotech Research, Clinical Diagnostics, and Equipment Catalog (due June 4, 2026), establishing supplier contracts for antibodies, chromatography systems, genomics reagents, and related instruments ordered through Jaggaer punchout catalogs. California issued RFB IS-26200845 for MyCodeDR mycobacterial reagents (due April 29, 2026) and RFB 26200758-1 for brand-name-only Cerilliant certified spiking solutions (due April 13, 2026). Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ for Clean Thru Extraction Columns (due May 30, 2026, total not to exceed $43,000).
