UNSPSC 41141834: Urea/blood urea nitrogen

In this classification, this entry connotes a substrate made of Urea/blood urea nitrogen that is used in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41141834 Urea/blood urea nitrogen is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with the work actually being procured. State and local buyers have not posted opportunities under this code for urea or blood urea nitrogen testing or reagents; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span clinical diagnostic panel kits, whole genome sequencing consumables, environmental microbiology reagents, culture media, laboratory standards, and extraction columns—none of which are urea-specific products or services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted work suggests that state and local procurement offices are either mis-tagging these opportunities or using this code as a catch-all for laboratory consumables and reagents outside their proper UNSPSC categories.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (on behalf of the Department of State Health Services), the Mississippi State Department of Health, Gwinnett County Georgia, the City of Philadelphia, and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio—a mix of state health departments, county and municipal agencies, and a public university. Work is concentrated in Texas and Mississippi, with isolated activity in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Representative opportunities include IFB HHS0017132 from HHSC for culture media for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing (due June 2, 2026); a sole-source procurement from the Mississippi State Department of Health for Illumina whole genome sequencing kits and reagents totaling $393,667.98 (objection deadline May 14, 2026); and IFB HHS0017272 from HHSC for next-generation sequencing consumables supporting wastewater surveillance, with bids due May 19, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether urea-specific testing products or reagents are being sought under alternative UNSPSC codes.
