UNSPSC 41141923: Bicarbonate/carbon dioxide test system

In this classification, Bicarbonate/carbon dioxide test system connotes a device used to measure Bicarbonate/carbon dioxide levels. US FDA regulates Bicarbonate/carbon dioxide test system under 21 CFR 862.1160 and under FDA product code CIE.

UNSPSC 41141923 Bicarbonate/carbon dioxide test system is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it procure forensic and clinical laboratory testing kits and reagents rather than bicarbonate or CO2 analysis equipment specifically. The work actually being bought includes immunoassay reagent kits for drug screening (Direct ELISA testing for cannabinoids, opiates, PCP, amphetamines, and controlled substances), certified reference drug standards for method validation and forensic analysis, DNA screening kits (QIAxcel and QIAamp systems), and mosquito-borne pathogen detection equipment (RAMP West Nile Virus and Dengue test systems). Issuing bodies include state crime laboratories (Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab Division), state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services, Florida Department of Law Enforcement), county forensic laboratories (Pinellas County, Florida), and state environmental and regulatory agencies (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation). Procurement notices have used IFB, ITQ (Invitation to Quote), and sole-source master contract vehicles.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with activity also in Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0008445A (posted July 9, 2026, due July 23, 2026) for Direct ELISA immunoassay reagent kits covering 12 line items of substance-analysis testing supplies with estimated quantities ranging 3 to 30 units per item; Pinellas County's ITQ #26-0305-ITQ (posted April 23, 2026, due April 23, 2026) for certified reference drug standards with 131 line items for forensic toxicology and seized drug analysis, funded through a $72,126.85 federal grant under the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016902v2 (posted February 10, 2026, due January 29, 2026) for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits with seven line items, anticipated contract value in the $25,050 to $30,000 range based on prior-year spending; and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's notice of intent to award (posted May 4, 2026, due May 20, 2026) for RAMP mosquito testing equipment as a sole-source joint purchase master contract through ADAPCO, LLC. Pinellas County identified SBE preference for this informal quote solicitation, and Texas procurement vehicles incorporate HUB subcontracting plan requirements.
