UNSPSC 41141819: Lipoprotein, chemical determination/detection

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of Lipoprotein, chemical determination/detection that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141819 Lipoprotein, chemical determination/detection (Commodity) describes specialized diagnostic and laboratory reagents used in pathogenic detection, disease surveillance, and clinical testing — specifically consumables, extraction media, and reference standards that support next-generation sequencing, culture-based diagnostics, and analytical chemistry workflows in state and local public health laboratories. State and local procurement under this code centers on reagent kits for wastewater surveillance (respiratory pathogen panels, SARS-CoV-2 variant detection), culture media for foodborne illness and drinking water testing, solid-phase extraction disks for EPA-compliant water analysis, and certified reference standards for gas chromatography and immunoassay work. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health departments and their affiliated public laboratories, with additional activity from higher-education research institutions (university health science centers) and municipal health departments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), acting on behalf of the Department of State Health Services, appears as the repeat buyer across multiple recent solicitations, issuing competitive IFBs for respiratory panels, culture media, extraction columns, analytical standards, and specialized sequencing reagents. The Mississippi State Department of Health and the California State Department of Health also solicited under this code within the review window.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC/DSHS), Mississippi, California, and Philadelphia, with the majority of recent procurements originating from Texas state public health laboratories. Representative recent opportunities include HHSC IFB HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, for Illumina respiratory pathogen detection kits and enrichment reagents supporting wastewater surveillance, with a bid deadline of May 19, 2026 and estimated FY 2025 historical value of $35,050–$90,000); HHSC IFB HHS0017132 (posted June 2, 2026, for R&F brand culture media for E. coli O157:H7 and Listeria detection in food and water testing, due June 2 at 10:30 AM Central Time with historical FY 2026 value of $187,340); HHSC IFB HHS0017287 (posted May 26, 2026, for Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 solid-phase extraction disks for EPA drinking water methods, due May 13 with historical FY 2026 value of $40,000–$90,000); and the Mississippi State Department of Health sole-source procurements (RFX 3150006813, posted April 28, 2026, for Illumina WGS reagent kits estimated at $393,667.98, and RFX 3150006814 for Clear Labs WGS reagents estimated at $226,072). All Texas HHSC procurements include mandatory HHS Solicitation Affirmations certifications and firm fixed-price bidding; no standing set-asides for small, minority-owned, or women-owned enterprises are identified across these opportunities. The code shows steady activity in the public health diagnostics and laboratory operations space, driven by state-level pathogen surveillance, drinking water compliance, and foodborne illness investigation mandates.
