UNSPSC 41151628: Automated urinalysis system

In this classification an automated urinalysis system is a device intended to measure certain of the physical properties and chemical constituents of urine by procedures that duplicate manual urinalysis systems. This device is used in conjunction with certain materials to measure a variety of urinary analytes US FDA regulates Automated urinalysis system under 21 CFR 862.2900 and under FDA product code KQO.

UNSPSC 41151628 Automated urinalysis system is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities in the dataset tagged with this code span timeclock equipment, hydrogen generator supplies, fire alarm components, spectrometry instruments, water testing reagents, laboratory analytical systems, ophthalmic instruments, and research equipment ranging from rheometers to photobioreactors to wind tunnels—none of which constitute automated urinalysis systems. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods and services being procured suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular UNSPSC code has fallen out of standard use for its intended purpose.

The few opportunities nominally tagged with this code originate from Mississippi State University (which dominates the dataset with multiple sole-source research equipment procurements), the City of Philadelphia, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the State of Oregon, the County of Santa Clara, Brazoria County, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Southern Mississippi, and other scattered state and local jurisdictions across Texas, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, and the upper Midwest. No issuing body appears more than once on work that resembles automated urinalysis procurement. Without recent, clearly scoped solicitations for actual urinalysis systems, this code presents minimal business development opportunity.
