UNSPSC 41141822: Non esterified fatty acids

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of Non esterified fatty acids that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141822 Non esterified fatty acids is a Commodity code. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect laboratory diagnostic and analytical reagents — culture media, extraction disks, sequencing consumables, and certified chemical standards — used in public health testing, clinical diagnostics, and drinking water compliance monitoring rather than fatty acid products per se. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments (Texas HHSC/DSHS, Mississippi State Department of Health, California), a university health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), and the City of Philadelphia, with the Texas agencies appearing most frequently across multiple competitive and sole-source procurements posted in recent months. Work being solicited includes mycobacterial culture media and identification reagents, next-generation sequencing consumables for pathogen and variant detection, solid phase extraction disks for EPA drinking water testing methods, gas chromatography columns and chemical standards for organic chemistry analysis, and catalog-based biotech research supplies furnished through e-procurement punchout systems.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Texas and Mississippi, with notable outlier procurements in California and Philadelphia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC–DSHS Invitation for Bids (IFB) HHS0017272 for Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Enrichment Kit Sets and Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kits (due May 19, 2026, with historical spending range $35,050 to $90,000); HHSC–DSHS IFB HHS0017132 for R&F brand culture media for E. coli and Listeria detection in food, water, and dairy testing (due June 2, 2026, with FY2026 historical value $187,340); the Mississippi State Department of Health sole-source procurement for Clear Labs WGS reagent bundles supporting SARS-CoV-2 and foodborne pathogen surveillance (objection deadline May 14, 2026, estimated cost $226,072); and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Request for Proposal 745-26-P19 for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with punchout e-procurement integration (proposals due June 4, 2026, prior-year line-item volume approximately 8,768 items). The code tags multiple sole-source and brand-name-restricted procurements, reflecting infrastructure lock-in with specific manufacturers (Illumina, Clear Labs, Cerilliant) and existing laboratory equipment compatibility requirements.
