UNSPSC 41141702: Acid, alcohol, and decolorizing fluid reagents

In this classification, this entry connotes a reagent made of Acid, alcohol, and decolorizing fluid used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141702 Acid, alcohol, and decolorizing fluid reagents is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory-grade chemical reagents and consumables used in diagnostic testing, quality assurance, and research applications across state and local health departments and universities. State and local governments procure under this code primarily next-generation sequencing consumables, culture media kits for foodborne pathogen detection, solid-phase extraction disks for drinking water testing, gas chromatography standards, and specialized diagnostic reagents for molecular and microbial analysis. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) dominates recent activity, issuing multiple IFBs for wastewater and clinical surveillance reagents, drinking water testing consumables, and organic chemistry standards used in Safe Drinking Water Act compliance. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio has posted an RFP establishing a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with punchout e-procurement integration, and the Mississippi State Department of Health has issued sole-source procurements for whole genome sequencing reagent bundles from Illumina and Clear Labs. The City of Philadelphia and State of California round out the issuing body mix with micro purchases for extraction columns and specialized diagnostic reagents respectively.

Texas dominates the geographic spread with the majority of recent opportunities, followed by Mississippi state health operations, with secondary activity in California, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Representative recent procurements include the HHSC IFB HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, due May 19, 2026) for Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 kits and respiratory pathogen ID/AMR enrichment kits supporting wastewater surveillance with historical values of $35,050 to $90,000; HHSC IFB HHS0017132 (posted June 2, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for R&F brand culture media detecting E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in food and water testing with historical values of $187,340; the University of Texas Health Science Center RFP 745-26-P19 (due June 4, 2026) for a multi-year biotech research catalog with approximately 8,768 line items ordered annually; and the Mississippi State Department of Health sole-source procurements for Clear Labs kits and Illumina reagents (objection deadline May 14, 2026) totaling $226,072 and $393,668 respectively for whole genome sequencing operations. HHSC IFB HHS0017287 (due May 13, 2026) seeks Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 solid-phase extraction disks for EPA drinking water methods compliance with historical values of $40,000 to $90,000.
