UNSPSC 41141821: Low density lipoprotein cholesterol including sd-ldl

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of Low density lipoprotein cholesterol including sd-ldl that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141821 Low density lipoprotein cholesterol including sd-ldL, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The opportunities posted against the code procure laboratory reagents, consumables, and analytical supplies for public health testing and clinical diagnostics — including next-generation sequencing kits for respiratory pathogen and wastewater surveillance, culture media for foodborne illness and water testing, solid phase extraction disks for drinking water contamination analysis, gas chromatography standards and instrument parts, mycobacterial identification reagents, and certified chemical spiking solutions for forensic laboratory work. None of these solicitations involve lipid panel testing, cholesterol measurement, or lipoprotein assays of any kind, suggesting the code tag may misclassify the underlying commodity groups.

Activity concentrates in Texas state health agencies — the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) dominate the recent posting volume, with multiple IFBs posted in February through June 2026 for sequencing consumables (HHS0017272, due May 19, 2026), culture media (HHS0017132, due June 2, 2026), extraction disks (HHS0017287, due May 13, 2026), and analytical standards (HHS0017271, due May 12, 2026). The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) issued sole-source procurements for Clear Labs and Illumina sequencing reagents (due May 14, 2026); the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA) conducted an RFP for a comprehensive biotech and clinical diagnostics catalog (due June 4, 2026); and the State of California solicited MyCodeDR reagents and Cerilliant spiking solutions. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase for extraction columns. Geographic activity spans Texas, Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania, with Texas representing the bulk of recent volume. The code's nominal scope does not match procurement patterns, warranting verification of the code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 41141821.
