UNSPSC 41141701: Acetic acid, alcohol, and toluidine blue combination reagents

In this classification, this entry connotes a reagent made of Acetic acid, alcohol, and toluidine blue combination used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141701 Acetic acid, alcohol, and toluidine blue combination reagents is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory reagents and consumable test supplies procured by state and local public health agencies for diagnostic testing, water quality assurance, and infectious disease surveillance. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily state health departments and county health authorities conducting food, water, dairy, and shellfish safety testing; wastewater surveillance for respiratory pathogens and SARS-CoV-2 variants; and drugs-of-abuse screening in criminal justice settings. The scope includes culture media, solid-phase extraction supplies, whole-genome sequencing reagent kits, quality control test systems, collection vessels, standards, and consumable instrument parts designed for use with specific analyzers and laboratory instrumentation such as next-generation sequencing platforms, gas chromatography systems, and automated drug-testing devices. Issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services, county health authorities, university research centers, and municipal procurement offices. Texas leads current procurement activity through the Health and Human Services Commission procuring on behalf of the Department of State Health Services, with multiple solicitations for reagents, consumables, and standards in the first half of 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia, with secondary presence in Pennsylvania. Recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for culture media for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing (IFB HHS0017881, due August 26, 2026, historical value $25,000–$50,000); respiratory pathogen detection kits for wastewater surveillance (IFB HHS0017272, historical value $35,050–$90,000); and gas chromatography columns and chemical standards for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance testing (IFB HHS0017271, historical value $25,050–$50,000). The Mississippi State Department of Health has issued sole-source notices for Illumina whole-genome sequencing reagent kits (total cost $393,667.98, objection deadline May 14, 2026) and Idexx Colilert reagents for E. coli and total coliform testing in drinking water (estimated annual cost $338,861.98). Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a request for proposals for drug testing supplies compatible with a drugs-of-abuse analyzer (due October 14, 2026), and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio released an RFP for a biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog including immunoassay kits, molecular biology reagents, and flow cytometry supplies (due June 4, 2026). The City of Philadelphia also sought Clean Thru Extraction Columns for laboratory use (micro purchase, May 30, 2026).
