UNSPSC 41141706: Gold chloride aqueous solution reagents

In this classification, this entry connotes a reagent made of Gold chloride aqueous solution used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141706 Gold chloride aqueous solution reagents is a Commodity code that describes laboratory reagents and chemical standards used in diagnostic testing, analytical chemistry, and microbial surveillance operations. State and local governments currently procure this code primarily for public health laboratory consumables supporting wastewater surveillance, drinking water testing, food safety analysis, and infectious disease detection. The actual procurements under this code span viral pathogen identification kits for respiratory surveillance, culture media for foodborne pathogen detection, solid phase extraction disks for EPA-compliant water testing, chemical standards for gas chromatography analysis, and whole genome sequencing reagents for SARS-CoV-2 and foodborne pathogen variant tracking. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (particularly Texas HHSC and Department of State Health Services), state departments of health (Mississippi), university health science centers, and municipal procurement offices. Texas agencies dominate recent activity, issuing multiple IFBs for diagnostic consumables and standards throughout 2026, while Mississippi has posted sole-source procurements for specialized sequencing reagent bundles, and California has solicited mycobacterial identification reagents and forensic spiking solutions. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued a competitive RFP for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with punchout e-procurement integration.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary procurement in Mississippi and California. Texas HHSC has issued IFBs for respiratory pathogen detection kits (HHS0017272, due May 19, 2026), culture media for pathogen testing (HHS0017132, due June 2, 2026), Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 solid phase extraction disks for water testing (HHS0017287, due May 13, 2026), and chemical standards including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, and pesticide standards for gas chromatography (HHS0017271, due May 12, 2026). Mississippi State Department of Health posted sole-source procurements for Clear Labs whole genome sequencing reagent bundles (3150006814, objection deadline May 14, 2026, $226,072 estimated total) and Illumina sequencing kits and reagents (3150006813, objection deadline May 14, 2026, $393,667.98 estimated total). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P19 for a multi-year biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with 8,768 line items ordered in the prior year, proposals due June 4, 2026. California posted RFBs for MyCodeDR reagents (IS-26200845, due April 29, 2026) and Cerilliant certified spiking solutions (26200758, due April 13, 2026). The City of Philadelphia solicited Clean Thru extraction columns as a micro purchase (B2627232, due May 30, 2026, $43,000 estimated contract value). Contract values for similar goods range from $25,050 to $393,667, with most Texas procurements estimated between $35,000 and $90,000.
