UNSPSC 41141807: Delta-aminolaevulinic acid

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of Delta-aminolaevulinic acid that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141807 Delta-aminolaevulinic acid (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific pharmaceutical precursor compound, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for delta-aminolaevulinic acid itself. Instead, the tagged opportunities span laboratory consumables, reagents, and diagnostic equipment: respiratory pathogen detection kits for sequencing, culture media for foodborne-illness testing, solid-phase extraction disks for drinking-water analysis, mycobacterial identification reagents, forensic spiking solutions, whole-genome sequencing reagent bundles, and extraction columns. These procurements represent routine laboratory supply and diagnostic testing infrastructure, not the narrow pharmaceutical chemical the code nominally names. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health departments (Texas HHSC and Department of State Health Services, Mississippi State Department of Health) and a university health science center, with one city procurement (Philadelphia) appearing as a micro purchase.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Mississippi, with a single California procurement and one Philadelphia solicitation. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and its Department of State Health Services dominate the recent record, appearing across eight of twelve opportunities. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC Invitation for Bids HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, due May 19, 2026) for respiratory pathogen sequencing consumables supporting wastewater surveillance, with estimated historical value of $35,050 to $90,000; Texas HHSC Invitation for Bids HHS0017132 (posted June 2, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for culture media for food and water testing, with FY 2026 historical value of $187,340; and Mississippi State Department of Health sole-source procurement (posted April 28, 2026, objection deadline May 14, 2026) for Illumina whole-genome sequencing reagents totaling $393,667.98. The code itself does not materially describe the work actually being bought; procurement under this tag warrants verification against the actual deliverables before pursuit.
