UNSPSC 41141813: Glycosylated/glycated hemoglobin

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of Glycosylated/glycated hemoglobin that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141813 Glycosylated/glycated hemoglobin, a Commodity code, sees sparse and divergent recent state and local activity that does not align cleanly with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span laboratory testing supplies and reagents — including drug testing supplies for abuse analyzers, culture media for food and water testing, whole genome sequencing reagents, solid-phase extraction disks for drinking water analysis, and chromatography columns for chemical standards — rather than hemoglobin-focused clinical diagnostics. The issuing bodies include state health departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring on behalf of the Department of State Health Services, Mississippi State Department of Health), a county health or law enforcement function (Gwinnett County, Georgia), a municipal agency (City of Philadelphia), and a university health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). Texas agencies dominate recent procurement activity under this code, with multiple IFBs posted since April 2026 for laboratory consumables and standards.

Recent solicitations show Texas HHSC conducting competitive bids for culture media, respiratory pathogen detection kits, standards and instrument parts, and extraction consumables, with response dates ranging from May through June 2026 and historical contract values in the $25,000–$90,000 range. Mississippi State Department of Health issued sole-source notices in April 2026 for Illumina sequencing reagents (estimated total $393,667.98) and Clear Labs whole genome sequencing kits (estimated total $226,072.00), both with objection deadlines of May 14, 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited drug testing supplies compatible with a drugs of abuse analyzer in September 2026 with an October 14, 2026 response deadline. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted an RFP in May 2026 for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog to be ordered through e-procurement systems, with proposals due June 4, 2026. The mismatch between the code's hemoglobin-testing name and the actual laboratory reagent and consumable work being procured suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement sources or that this code is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local spend.
