UNSPSC 41141808: D-xylose

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of D-xylose that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141808 D-xylose (Commodity) covers laboratory and clinical diagnostic consumables, reagents, and chemical standards used in public health and research testing, though the recent state and local opportunities mapped to this code reflect a broader array of laboratory supplies than the code name alone suggests. State and local health departments and research institutions are procuring next-generation sequencing consumables, culture media for pathogen detection, solid-phase extraction disks, chromatography standards, mycobacterial identification reagents, and forensic/analytical spiking solutions—products that support wastewater surveillance, foodborne illness outbreak detection, drinking water compliance testing, and clinical diagnostics. The buying mix spans state health departments (particularly Texas HHSC and the Mississippi State Department of Health), municipal procurement (City of Philadelphia), and research institutions (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). Texas HHSC appears as a repeat issuer, soliciting multiple consumable and reagent line items through competitively sealed Invitations for Bids with fixed pricing, best-value evaluation, and contract terms typically running through August 31, 2026, with optional one-year extensions.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas and Mississippi, with additional procurement from California and Philadelphia. Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017272 (Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Enrichment Kit Sets and Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel kits for wastewater surveillance, due May 19, 2026), HHS0017132 (R&F brand culture media for E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, and Enterobacter detection in food and water testing, due June 2, 2026), and HHS0017287 (Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 solid-phase extraction disks for EPA drinking water methods 525.2 and 508.1, due May 13, 2026). The Mississippi State Department of Health posted two sole-source procurements for Clear Labs kits and Illumina reagent suites supporting whole-genome sequencing of foodborne and SARS-CoV-2 specimens (objection deadlines May 14, 2026, at approximately $226,000 and $393,700 respectively). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's RFP 745-26-P19 (Biotech Research, Clinical Diagnostics, and Equipment Catalog, due June 4, 2026) establishes a multi-award supplier contract for routine punchout ordering of antibodies, genomics reagents, immunoassay kits, and molecular biology consumables. California issued RFB IS-26200845 for MyCodeDR mycobacterial reagents (due April 29, 2026) and RFB 26200758 for Cerilliant certified forensic spiking solutions (due April 13, 2026), both with CBE set-asides. The Philadelphia IFB B2627232 (Clean Thru Extraction Columns micro-purchase, due May 30, 2026, not to exceed $43,000) represents smaller municipal activity.
