UNSPSC 41142076: Vitamin a test system

In this classification, Vitamin a test system connotes a device used to measure Vitamin a levels. US FDA regulates Vitamin a test system under 21 CFR 862.1805 and under FDA product code JOA.

UNSPSC 41142076 Vitamin A test system (Commodity) encompasses diagnostic reagents, test kits, and reference materials for forensic drug analysis, toxicology screening, and communicable disease surveillance used by state and local public health, law enforcement, and forensic laboratory operations. The work being solicited under this code diverges notably from the literal code name — recent opportunities show procurement of immunoassay reagent kits for substance abuse screening, certified drug reference standards for method validation, mosquito-borne disease test kits (West Nile Virus and Dengue), and DNA screening kits for forensic applications, rather than vitamin A-specific diagnostic systems. Issuing bodies include state health departments and forensic laboratory divisions, state public safety and criminal justice agencies, county health and forensic laboratories, and special-purpose forensic service providers operating under federal grant funding. The mix reflects both direct state procurement and pass-through federal grants administered through state agencies on behalf of local jurisdictions.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with secondary participation from Illinois. Representative recent opportunities 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 across twelve line items for substance screening; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016902v2 (due January 29, 2026) for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits at the DSHS state laboratory with historical annual values between $25,050 and $30,000; Pinellas County, Florida's Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ (posted and due April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of ISO/IEC 17025 certified drug reference standards funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act, with approximately $49,034 allocated for equipment and supplies; and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's sole-source procurement (posted May 4, 2026) for RAMP mosquito-borne disease test kits and readers through ADAPCO, LLC. Set-asides and preferences appear selectively — Florida extends small business enterprise preference; Texas incorporates Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting plans on some procurements. Response windows are typically fourteen to thirty days from posting.
