UNSPSC 41141829: Thymol

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

UNSPSC 41141829 Thymol is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory consumables and reagents for diagnostic, surveillance, and analytical testing in state and local public health and research settings. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code captures whole genome sequencing reagents, solid-phase extraction disks, culture media, analytical standards, and molecular diagnostic kits—materials that state health departments, university research centers, and municipal laboratories procure to support pathogen surveillance, outbreak investigation, drinking water compliance testing, and foodborne illness detection. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments (Texas HHSC, Mississippi State Department of Health) and state university research centers (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, UC system), with one municipal procurement from the City of Philadelphia. Texas dominates recent activity, issuing multiple IFBs through HHSC for consumables supporting wastewater and clinical surveillance; Mississippi State Department of Health has posted sole-source procurements for sequencing reagent bundles; and California has conducted brand-name-only solicitations for mycobacterial and certified analytical reagents.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, due May 19, 2026) for Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Enrichment Kit Sets and Illumina Viral Surveillance Panel v2 Kits to support wastewater surveillance; the Mississippi State Department of Health sole-source procurement 3150006813 (posted April 28, 2026, objection deadline May 14, 2026) for Illumina whole genome sequencing kits and reagents supporting foodborne illness and SARS-CoV-2 testing; and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio RFP 745-26-P19 (posted May 7, 2026, due June 4, 2026) for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog with punchout e-procurement integration. Cost ranges in posted solicitations span $35,050 to $393,667 depending on scope and instrument systems, though most laboratory reagent solicitations cluster between $40,000 and $90,000 annually. The code shows consistent activity in the Southwest and Upper Midwest, with emphasis on public health testing programs for environmental surveillance and infectious disease detection.
