UNSPSC 41181601: Rna preanalytical systems

In this classification, Rna preanalytical systems connotes a device used to collect, store, and transport patient specimens, and stabilize intracellular RNA from the specimens, for subsequent isolation and purification of the intracellular RNA for RT-PCR used in in vitro molecular diagnostic testing. US FDA regulates Rna preanalytical systems under 21 CFR 866.4070 and under FDA product code NTW.

UNSPSC 41181601 RNA preanalytical systems is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure—the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations aligned with the code's nominal scope of RNA sample preparation and handling systems. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span unrelated laboratory and research equipment: UAVs, microscopes, drift towers, dynamic mechanical analyzers, X-ray diffractometers, cold spray systems, induction furnaces, spectrometers, and DNA analysis cartridges. A single record (Illinois State Police requesting Rapid DNA System cartridges and maintenance) touches forensic molecular analysis but targets Applied Biosystems products for DNA profiling rather than RNA preanalytical work. The mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitations indicates either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement database or that RNA preanalytical systems as a discrete commodity category does not drive procurement activity in the jurisdictions currently active in this dataset.

Activity concentrates at research universities—Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi dominate the recent notices, along with University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas State University, Texas A&M, and Midwestern State University—and at state agencies including the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. Most transactions are sole-source procurements (typically RFIN notices) or sealed-bid IFBs for specialized research equipment. Geographic spread covers Mississippi, Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative recent activity includes Mississippi State University's sole-source acquisition of an Rtec Instruments Surface Characterization System (RFB 9250-27-R-RFIN-00016, due October 1, 2026, estimated $98,978) and University of Wisconsin-Madison's competitive RFB for a high-speed back-lit scientific camera (2027-UWMSN-01401-RFB, due August 12, 2026). The code shows minimal market relevance for vendors focused on RNA extraction, stabilization, or sample preparation systems; pursue only if your offering aligns with the actual equipment categories appearing in state and local research procurement.
