UNSPSC 41141832: Total protein

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

UNSPSC 41141832 Total protein is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory consumables and reagents for diagnostic, research, and surveillance testing—specifically the kits, panels, extraction media, standards, and sequencing reagent bundles that state and local health agencies, universities, and municipal laboratories purchase to support pathogen detection, water quality monitoring, and molecular diagnostics. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on public health laboratories and university research facilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS) dominate recent solicitation volume, with multiple IFBs for respiratory surveillance panels, culture media, solid phase extraction disks, drinking water standards, and genomic sequencing reagents. The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) issued sole-source procurements for specialized whole genome sequencing reagent bundles. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA) conducted an RFP for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog covering antibodies, immunoassay kits, genomics reagents, and spectroscopy equipment. The City of Philadelphia and State of California rounded out the recent activity with a micro-purchase RFQ for extraction columns and competitive bids for mycobacterial and forensic analytical reagents respectively.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary procurement in Mississippi, California, and Pennsylvania. Representative solicitations include the HHSC IFB HHS0017272 (posted June 25, 2026, due May 19, 2026) for respiratory pathogen ID/AMR enrichment kits and Illumina viral surveillance panels supporting wastewater surveillance; the MSDH sole-source procurement for Illumina sequencing kits and reagents (posted April 28, 2026, objection deadline May 14, 2026, estimated cost $393,667.98); the UTHSA RFP 745-26-P19 (posted May 7, 2026, due June 4, 2026) for a multi-year biotech research catalog with an anticipated 8,768 line items ordered during the prior contract year; and the HHSC IFB HHS0016980 (posted February 3, 2026, due February 19, 2026) for a Clear Labs Dx automated sequencer system with sequencing reagents and comprehensive training. Procurement terms typically run through August 31, 2026, with one-year renewal options, and firm fixed pricing is standard across all solicitations with CPI adjustment provisions at agency discretion only.
