UNSPSC 41142057: Total protein test system

In this classification, Total protein test system connotes a device used to measure Total protein levels. US FDA regulates Total protein test system under 21 CFR 862.1635 and under FDA product code JGP.

UNSPSC 41142057 Total protein test system is a Commodity code that covers forensic and clinical laboratory testing reagents and certified reference materials used by state and local health, public safety, and law enforcement agencies for substance analysis, drug screening, and DNA testing. State and local governments procure under this code Direct ELISA testing kits for controlled-substance detection, certified drug reference standards meeting ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accreditation standards, DNA screening kits, and mosquito-borne illness test kits for public health surveillance. The issuing bodies span state departments of public safety, health and human services, financial and professional regulation, counties and municipalities, and forensic laboratories operated by law enforcement and public health jurisdictions. These are specialized technical procurements with strict quality and accreditation requirements, often funded through federal grants such as the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act.

Recent activity shows solicitations from Texas Department of Public Safety (IFB for Direct ELISA immunalysis reagent kits, due July 23, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of Department of State Health Services (IFB for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits, closed January 29, 2026, with anticipated contract value of $25,050 to $30,000 for Fiscal Year 2025), Pinellas County, Florida in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (ITQ for certified drug reference standards, due April 23, 2026, with $49,034 in federal funding designated for equipment and supplies), and Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (joint purchase master contract for mosquito testing equipment, notice of intent to award May 4, 2026). Geographic concentration appears in Texas and Florida, with multistate distribution capability through master contracts. Competitive bidding predominates, though sole-source procurements are used when exclusive manufacturer or distributor relationships exist. Set-asides and preferences include HUB subcontracting plans and SBE price preferences in Florida; vendor performance ratings and compliance history materially affect eligibility.
