UNSPSC 41151744: Theophylline test system

In this classification, a Theophylline test system is a device intended to measure Theophylline for clinical toxicology purposes. US FDA regulates Theophylline test system under 21 CFR 862.3880 and under FDA product code KLS

UNSPSC 41151744 Theophylline test system is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the nominal scope. The opportunities include timeclock equipment from Mississippi State University, hydrogen generator supplies from the City of Philadelphia, fire alarm system components from Mississippi State University, spectrometer instruments from Mississippi State University, COLILERT reagents and water bottles for bacteriological testing from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, X-ray diffractometer anode equipment from the State of Oregon, and various other laboratory and analytical instruments from universities and counties across the country. The code's abstract name suggests clinical chemistry reagents or diagnostic test kits for theophylline measurement, yet the actual posted solicitations span fire alarm parts, microwave analyzers, early childhood learning materials, gas chromatography systems, mass spectrometers, and other equipment with no apparent connection to theophylline testing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of posting or that this code does not reflect active state and local buying patterns for theophylline test systems.

Recent activity under this code is concentrated at public universities and state departments, with Mississippi State University appearing as a dominant issuer across dozens of sole-source procurements for specialized research and educational equipment. The State of Texas (via HHSC/DSHS), State of Oregon, County of Santa Clara, City of Philadelphia, Brazoria County, and Broward County also appear as frequent buyers. Geographic spread includes Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Oregon, California, Wisconsin, Illinois, and other states. The solicitations span RFQs, RFPs, ITBs, sealed bids, and notices of proposed sole-source purchases. Because the posted opportunities do not align with theophylline test systems as a product category, business development professionals should treat this code as having minimal relevant recent activity for clinical laboratory reagent suppliers; firms with expertise in laboratory analytical equipment, university research procurement, or specialized instrumentation may find isolated opportunities, but pursuing this code as a vehicle for theophylline test kit sales would not be strategically sound given the evidence.
