UNSPSC 41161505: Mycoplasma detection media and components

In this classification, mycoplasma detection media and components are used to detect and isolate mycoplasma pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO), a common microbial contaminant in cell cultures. US FDA regulates Mycoplasma detection media and components under 21 CFR 864.2360 and under FDA product code KIX.

UNSPSC 41161505 Mycoplasma detection media and components is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not appear to be actively procured by public agencies. The City of Tampa's March 2026 IFB for medical and first aid supplies (Solicitation 26P00145) — the sole recent opportunity tagged to this code — sought respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, gloves, airway devices, bandaging materials, oxygen delivery systems, and various medical consumables for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division. This procurement scope bears no meaningful connection to mycoplasma detection media and components. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source system or use of a catch-all code for broad medical supply categories that does not align with the code's actual commodity definition.

The Tampa opportunity represents the only recent state and local activity visible under this code, with no evidence of active procurement by state departments, counties, school districts, transit authorities, or other issuing bodies. The code shows minimal market activity and carries no clear signal of sustained demand from state and local buyers. Firms pursuing laboratory or diagnostic reagent business should verify that opportunities are coded correctly before investing in response preparation, as the current signal does not support engagement under this specific UNSPSC designation.
