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 representing laboratory consumables, reagents, and diagnostic test supplies that state and local public health departments, university health centers, and municipal laboratories procure for disease surveillance, environmental water testing, and clinical pathology operations. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring drug testing analyzer supplies, EPA- and FDA-cleared microbial detection reagents for drinking water and shellfish testing, next-generation sequencing consumables for respiratory pathogen monitoring and wastewater surveillance, culture media for foodborne pathogen identification, solid-phase extraction disks for chemical contaminant analysis, gas chromatography standards and instrument components, and genomics reagents for whole genome sequencing. The issuing-body mix includes state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Mississippi State Department of Health), county public health offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), university health systems (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), and city procurement offices (Philadelphia). State health departments dominate recent activity, reflecting centralized laboratory procurement for statewide public health missions.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Mississippi, where multiple recent solicitations target water-quality surveillance, foodborne-illness outbreak detection, and pandemic-response sequencing. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued six competitive bids between May and August 2026 for consumables supporting Safe Drinking Water Act compliance, wastewater viral surveillance, and culture media for pathogenic testing, with historical values ranging from $25,000 to $187,340 per contract. Mississippi State Department of Health posted sole-source procurements in April and May 2026 totaling approximately $620,000 for Illumina and Clear Labs sequencing reagents and for Idexx reagents and collection devices for coliform testing. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited drug-testing analyzer supplies (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000764, due October 14, 2026), and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued a multipart RFP (745-26-P19, due June 4, 2026) for a comprehensive biotech research and clinical diagnostics catalog covering approximately 8,768 line items ordered annually. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for extraction columns (B2627232, due May 30, 2026). Geographic footprint extends across the South and Southwest, with isolated northern-tier activity in Philadelphia; the code shows minimal recent activity outside these regions.
