UNSPSC 41141836: Zinc substrate

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

UNSPSC 41141836 Zinc substrate is a Commodity code with limited recent activity traceable to state and local procurement. The ten opportunities recorded under this code between February and June 2026 show minimal relevance to zinc substrate as a discrete product category. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has posted multiple IFBs for laboratory consumables and diagnostic kits — respiratory pathogen detection panels, culture media for food and water testing, solid phase extraction disks, gas chromatography columns and chemical standards, and automated sequencing systems — alongside related equipment procurements from Mississippi State Department of Health, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (RFP), and the State of California (RFBs for mycobacterial reagents and certified spiking solutions). None of these solicitations explicitly name zinc substrate or zinc-based materials as line items. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro purchase for Clean Thru Extraction Columns on May 27, 2026 (RFQ due May 30, 2026, micro purchase cap $43,000), which may involve zinc-coated or zinc-containing components but is tagged under this code without supporting detail on material composition.

The issuing bodies are primarily state health and public health agencies (Texas HHSC/DSHS, Mississippi State Department of Health, California State) and academic medical research facilities (University of Texas Health Science Center). Most opportunities are competitive IFBs or RFPs for specialized laboratory reagents, diagnostic kits, and sequencing equipment used in pathogen surveillance, foodborne illness outbreak detection, and wastewater monitoring. Geographic concentration appears in Texas, Mississippi, and California. The code shows no pattern of zinc substrate procurement as a primary commodity — the tagging appears to reflect a taxonomy misalignment rather than active demand for zinc substrates themselves. No representative opportunities target zinc substrate procurement directly.
