UNSPSC 41142049: Pyruvic acid test system

In this classification, Pyruvic acid test system connotes a device used to measure Pyruvic acid levels. US FDA regulates Pyruvic acid test system under 21 CFR 862.1655 and under FDA product code JLT.

UNSPSC 41142049 Pyruvic acid test system is a Commodity code covering laboratory testing kits and reagent systems used in forensic and clinical analysis by state and local public health and law enforcement agencies. Recent activity shows demand for Direct ELISA immunoassay reagent kits for drug screening, DNA extraction and sizing kits for forensic applications, and certified reference materials (drug standards) for method validation and evidentiary analysis. The issuing bodies are primarily state law enforcement and public health agencies, supplemented by county forensic laboratories and state health departments acting through cooperative purchasing mechanisms. The Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring on behalf of the Department of State Health Services), Pinellas County (partnering with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement), and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation each conduct procurement under this code, with the Texas agencies appearing as repeat buyers for both immunoassay reagents and DNA screening kits.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, and Illinois. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued IFB 405-26R0008445A (closed July 23, 2026) for Direct ELISA testing kits covering 12 substance classes—cannabinoids, opiates, PCP, amphetamines, and others—with unit quantities ranging from 3 to 30 per line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission conducted competitive IFB HHS0016902v2 (closed January 29, 2026) for QIAxcel DNA screening and QIAamp DNA extraction kits totaling approximately $25,050 to $30,000 based on prior-year spend. Pinellas County issued informal quote solicitation 26-0305-ITQ (closed April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of ISO/IEC 17025–accredited drug reference standards, with $72,126.85 in available federal funding under the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act, and offered SBE price preference. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation established a master contract through sole-source procurement to ADAPCO for the RAMP System mosquito-borne disease testing equipment and test kits (West Nile Virus and Dengue). Evaluation criteria typically emphasize past vendor performance, specification compliance, and delivery capability; set-asides are not standard, though HUB subcontracting plans appear in Texas solicitations.
