UNSPSC 41141835: Uric acid

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

UNSPSC 41141835 Uric acid is a Commodity code, though the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it predominantly reflect laboratory diagnostic reagents, reference standards, and consumable supplies for molecular sequencing, microbial culture, and chemical analysis rather than uric acid specifically. The code appears to function as a catch-all for specialized laboratory chemicals and reagents used in state and local public health testing, including whole genome sequencing kits, solid phase extraction disks, culture media, chromatography standards, and certified analytical spiking solutions. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services (Texas HHSC and DSHS, Mississippi State Department of Health), a university health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), a city procurement office (City of Philadelphia), and the State of California. Texas agencies dominate the recent activity, appearing across multiple solicitations for respiratory pathogen detection kits, culture media, SPE disks, and gas chromatography supplies. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio has issued a broader RFP for comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog procurement through punchout e-commerce systems, indicating institutional demand for routine access to diverse laboratory reagents and equipment.

Recent opportunities span Texas (IFB HHS0017272 for respiratory panel consumables posted June 25, 2026 due May 19; IFB HHS0017132 for culture media posted June 2 due June 2; IFB HHS0017287 for Atlantic ReadyDisk HC-C18 SPE disks posted May 26 due May 13; IFB HHS0017271 for gas chromatography standards and instrument parts posted May 19 due May 12), Mississippi (sole source procurements for Clear Labs and Illumina whole genome sequencing reagents, both posted April 28 with objection deadlines of May 14), California (RFB for MyCodeDR reagents posted April 14 due April 29; RFB for Cerilliant certified spiking solutions posted April 2 due April 13), Texas again (RFP 745-26-P19 from University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio for biotech catalog posted May 7 due June 4; IFB HHS0016980 for Clear Dx sequencer system posted February 3 due February 19), and Philadelphia (micro purchase for extraction columns posted May 27 due May 30). Contract values in Texas range from historical guidance of $25,050 to $90,000 for individual reagent procurements; the Mississippi sequencing reagent procurements total $226,072 and $393,668 respectively. No set-aside designations for small business, minority-owned enterprise, or disadvantaged-business programs appear across these opportunities, though some California procurements include CBE (Certified Business Enterprise) preferential consideration and the University of Texas procurement requires HUB Subcontracting Plans.
