UNSPSC 41161501: Synthetic cell and tissue culture media and components

In this classification, synthetic cell and tissue culture media and components are substances that are composed entirely of defined components (e.g., amino acids, vitamins, inorganic salts) that are essential for the survival and development of cell lines of humans and other animals. US FDA regulates Synthetic cell and tissue culture media and components under 21 CFR 864.2220 and under FDA product code KIT.

UNSPSC 41161501 Synthetic cell and tissue culture media and components is a Commodity code covering laboratory reagents and growth substrates used in biomedical research, diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing at state and local research institutions, public health agencies, and educational bodies. State and local buyers under this code procure ready-to-use and custom-formulated culture media, sera, growth factors, and supplemental additives for cell and tissue propagation in academic research labs, clinical diagnostics facilities, and state public health laboratories. The code serves research universities, state university systems, county health departments, and independent school districts with advanced life sciences programs.

The source contains no records of recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. State and local procurement activity for synthetic cell and tissue culture media appears minimal or absent from current public notice databases, which may reflect the specialized nature of the market, consolidation around established vendors, or procurement routing through cooperative purchasing agreements or academic purchasing consortia rather than open competitive solicitation.
