UNSPSC 41141831: Total porphyrine

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

UNSPSC 41141831 Total porphyrine is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure laboratory reagents and analytical consumables under this code, specifically sequencing kits, extraction columns, culture media, diagnostic panels, and certified chemical standards used in public health surveillance, water quality testing, and clinical diagnostics. Recent solicitations show demand centered on next-generation sequencing consumables for pathogen detection, solid phase extraction media for drinking water analysis under EPA protocols, culture media for foodborne illness detection, and specialized reagents for whole genome sequencing operations in state public health laboratories. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC on behalf of DSHS, Mississippi State Department of Health) purchasing through competitive sealed IFBs and sole source procurement notices, with secondary activity from municipal procurement offices (City of Philadelphia) and university health science centers (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) issuing RFPs for comprehensive biotech catalog agreements. A single California state procurement for mycobacterial culture reagents and brand-name-only Cerilliant certified spiking solutions represents the geographic spread beyond the Texas and Mississippi concentration.

Texas dominates recent activity in this code, with the HHSC issuing at least five separate IFBs between February and June 2026 for respiratory pathogen detection kits, culture media, solid phase extraction disks, standards and instrument parts, and a Clear Dx sequencing instrument. Mississippi State Department of Health posted two sole source procurements in April 2026 (estimated values $226,072 for Clear Labs kits and $393,667.98 for Illumina sequencing reagents) requiring objection deadlines of May 14, 2026. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio released RFP 745-26-P19 due June 4, 2026, seeking a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog supplier with MSRP-based discount pricing and Jaggaer punchout integration, with historical annual demand of approximately 8,768 line items. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase quote request (RFQ) due May 30, 2026, for Clean Thru Extraction Columns with a $43,000 contract ceiling. Texas HHSC IFBs typically specify firm, fixed pricing with no price adjustments except at sole discretion tied to Consumer Price Index or federal minimum wage increases, and include mandatory HHS Solicitation Affirmations certifications covering debarment status, E-Verify compliance, human trafficking prohibitions, and Texas-specific policy compliance; historical fiscal-year values for comparable goods range between $25,050 and $393,667.98 depending on the product class.
