UNSPSC 41141811: Galactose

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

UNSPSC 41141811 Galactose, a Commodity code, does not map meaningfully to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code solicit laboratory consumables, reagents, and instrument supplies for public health testing—including drug testing kits for abuse analyzers, food and water safety testing reagents, wastewater surveillance panels, culture media, extraction columns, chromatography standards, and whole genome sequencing kits—none of which are galactose products or galactose-related supplies. The mismatch suggests a cataloging or tagging error rather than actual procurement demand for galactose under this code.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Mississippi State Department of Health), county public health (Gwinnett County, Georgia), a municipal government (City of Philadelphia), and a university health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). Texas agencies dominate the recent activity, particularly HHSC procuring on behalf of DSHS for drinking water compliance, wastewater surveillance, and foodborne illness detection. The opportunities represent competitive bids (IFBs), RFPs, and sole-source notices with response dates between May and October 2026, with contract values ranging from under $43,000 (Philadelphia extraction columns micro purchase) to $393,667.98 (Mississippi Illumina sequencing reagents). Given the code's apparent misalignment with the actual goods being purchased, business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
