In this classification, these entries connote the reagents used in association with serological laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41202000 Serological reagents, a Class code, encompasses rapid diagnostic test kits, calibrators, control reagents, and consumables for infectious disease and drug-of-abuse testing that state and local health departments, public health agencies, and criminal justice departments procure for STI screening, HIV detection, substance-abuse monitoring, and general medical laboratory diagnostics. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying Abbott and Hologic branded HIV, syphilis, and gonorrhea/chlamydia test kits; reagent supplies for automated analyzer platforms; and supporting consumables such as controls, calibrators, and collection devices. Issuing bodies span state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county health and criminal justice agencies (Collin County in Texas), city public health programs (Austin), and county courts (Gwinnett County, Georgia). The Illinois Department of Public Health appears as a repeat buyer, conducting both emergency sole-source procurements and competitive change orders for reagent supply continuity.
