UNSPSC 41151619: Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems

In this classification Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems is a device intended to measure and sort multiple signals generated by an assay from a clinical sample. This instrumentation is used with a specific assay to measure multiple similar analytes that establish a single indicator to aid in diagnosis. Such instrumentation may be compatible with more than one specific assay.

The device includes a signal reader unit, and may also integrate reagent handling, hybridization, washing, dedicated instrument control, and other hardware components, as well as raw data storage mechanisms, data acquisition software, and software to process detected signals US FDA regulates Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems under 21 CFR 862.2570 and under FDA product code NSU.

UNSPSC 41151619 Instrumentation for clinical multiplex test systems, a Commodity code, encompasses laboratory analytical equipment and reagents used in clinical diagnostics, environmental testing, and forensic analysis — specifically instruments for multiplex testing, detection systems, and specialized analytical reagents that state and local health departments, environmental agencies, and law enforcement laboratories procure for disease surveillance, water quality monitoring, and forensic evidence analysis.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span public health departments, environmental agencies, university research institutions, and law enforcement crime laboratories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Department of State Health Services, the County of Santa Clara Public Health Lab, Broward County's Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Station, Brazoria County Sheriff's Office, Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), and the State of Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services Occupational Safety and Health Division appear as repeat or recent buyers. Mississippi State University and the University of Southern Mississippi conduct frequent sole-source acquisitions of specialized analytical systems. Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Michigan, Oregon, and Mississippi, with additional procurement from Wisconsin and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC RFQ for COLILERT reagents and water bottles for bacteriological testing (due July 8, 2026, with historical annual spend of $70,050 to $90,000), the County of Santa Clara ITB for ophthalmic instruments and accessories (due July 10, 2026, three-year contract term), the Brazoria County RFP for a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab (due May 12, 2026, estimated project budget $300,000, funded by the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Grant Program), the State of Oregon RFQ for pump calibrators and noise dosimeters for the OSHA Laboratory (quotes due June 10 and June 23, 2026), and the Michigan EGLE RFP for a nitrogen generator system for the Remediation and Redevelopment Division Laboratory (due June 24, 2026). Multiple sole-source notices reflect equipment and reagent specificity — Anton Paar MCR rheometers, QIAGEN Tissuelyser instruments, ion chromatography systems, and IDEXX COLILERT products dominate campus and health agency acquisitions. Most opportunities cite firm fixed pricing with delivery FOB Destination, multi-year contract terms with renewal options, and standard insurance and tax-exempt compliance requirements.
