UNSPSC 41200000: Serological and specimen preparation test systems, components and supplies

In this classification these entries connote systems, components and supplies used in serological and specimen preparation based laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41200000 Serological and specimen preparation test systems, components and supplies is a Family code encompassing HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing kits, reagents, controls, and related diagnostic supplies that state and local health departments and criminal justice agencies procure to operate laboratory screening and confirmation workflows. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring both automated and nonautomated blood chemistry and serology testing capabilities: the City of Austin is procuring rapid HIV test kits (Abbott Determine HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo) for its public health program; the Illinois Department of Public Health is establishing a five-year contract for fully automated fourth-generation HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis screening assays with integrated instrumentation and reagent supply; and Collin County is soliciting specimen collection and drug testing services (immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation) for offender monitoring across two sites with an estimated annual volume of approximately 25,031 tests. Issuing bodies span state health departments, county criminal-justice and corrections agencies, city public health programs, and public universities. The Illinois Department of Public Health appears as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple emergency and standard procurements for serology reagents and instrumentation to maintain CLIA certification at its laboratory facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Florida. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has solicited forensic analysis and laboratory testing services including serology and DNA testing; Collin County (Texas) posted an RFP for offender drug testing with response due July 23, 2026 and estimated contract value of $600,000; the City of Austin issued an IFB for HIV test kits with response due July 17, 2026. The Illinois Department of Public Health conducted an IFB for automated Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis screening assays (response due March 16, 2026, estimated annual volumes of 3,300 Hepatitis B tests, 3,000 Hepatitis C tests, 13,200 HIV tests, and 11,000 Syphilis tests) and executed emergency procurements with Abbott Laboratories for HIV and Syphilis reagents totaling $38,079.50. The University of Houston issued an RFP for blood chemistry reagents and nonautomated diagnostic testing services (response due March 24, 2026). Recent activity also includes a Florida county pool-maintenance solicitation incorrectly tagged to this code; that opportunity is unrelated to serological testing and does not represent relevant category activity.
