UNSPSC 41181935: Progesterone receptor assays tests

In this classification, a Progesterone receptor assays tumor associated antigen immunological test system that consists of the reagents used to identify by immunochemical techniques Progesterone receptor assays based tumors.

UNSPSC 41181935 Progesterone receptor assays tests is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally describes laboratory assays for a specific hormone receptor, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code span clinical laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometry systems, electrical equipment diagnostics, waste-to-energy facility instrumentation, materials testing and inspection services, lab information management systems, and utility metering equipment — none of which involve progesterone receptor analysis. Marion County, Oregon sought laboratory testing and phlebotomy services for adults in custody under an ITB due July 24, 2026; the Texas Department of State Health Services requested bids for repair and maintenance of laboratory equipment (washers, sterilizers, and steam generators) under an IFB due July 6, 2026; and the City of Tampa issued an RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer as a replacement unit at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility. These solicitations address general clinical and environmental laboratory infrastructure, not hormone-specific assays.

The mismatch between code scope and actual buying activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that UNSPSC 41181935 is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for work they actually perform. Lubbock Power & Light sought oil testing and laboratory services for transformer diagnostics; the County of Santa Clara issued an RFI for a lab information management system; and the City of Ocala requested a three-phase meter test board for electric utility metering — none of these procurement drivers map to progesterone receptor assays. State and local governments appear to code general laboratory services, equipment, and diagnostic work under this commodity designation without regard to the hormone-receptor specificity the code implies. A firm pursuing work under UNSPSC 41181935 should verify the actual scope with procurement offices before investing in pursuit, as the code's nominal meaning does not predict the work being solicited.
