UNSPSC 41141830: Total lipids

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

UNSPSC 41141830 Total lipids is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover laboratory supplies, reagents, and consumables used in food safety testing, drinking water quality assurance, wastewater surveillance, and clinical diagnostics — including drug testing supplies, EPA-approved bacterial culture media, next-generation sequencing kits, solid phase extraction disks, gas chromatography columns, and specialized reagent bundles for whole genome sequencing. The issuing bodies are state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services, Mississippi State Department of Health), county health authorities (Gwinnett County, Georgia), a municipal procurement office (City of Philadelphia), and a university health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (total lipids) and the actual solicitation content suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or that this code has been repurposed to capture laboratory consumables more broadly than its name indicates.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Mississippi, with one Georgia county and one Philadelphia municipal procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Texas HHSC issuing IFB HHS0017881 for lab supplies for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing, with responses due August 26, 2026, at a historical FY2025 value of $25,000 to $50,000; Mississippi State Department of Health issuing a sole-source notice for Illumina kits and reagents to support whole genome sequencing at its public health laboratory, with an estimated cost of $393,667.98 and an objection deadline of May 14, 2026; and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio conducting RFP 745-26-P19 for a comprehensive biotech research, clinical diagnostics, and equipment catalog with proposals due June 4, 2026. The code shows no true recent activity aligned with lipid analysis or lipid-specific testing; buyers should evaluate whether the code continues to be used as a catch-all for laboratory reagents and consumables or whether reclassification to a more appropriate UNSPSC family would better reflect procurement intent.
