UNSPSC 41202017: Echinococcus spp. serological reagents

In this classification, Echinococcus genus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Echinococcus genus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Echinococcus genus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3200 and under FDA product code GPF.

UNSPSC 41202017 Echinococcus spp. serological reagents is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The opportunities actually solicited span HIV and Syphilis testing reagents and kits, forensic analysis services, offender drug testing, pool maintenance, and clinical diagnostic laboratory services — none of which involve Echinococcus serological testing. The Illinois Department of Public Health has posted multiple procurements for HIV and Syphilis reagents manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, including an emergency sole-source award and a competitive invitation for bid covering Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis 4th Gen screening with automated instrumentation. The City of Austin issued an IFB for rapid HIV test kits, and Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department solicited offender specimen collection and drug testing services under RFP 2026-327. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted solicitations for forensic analysis and laboratory testing services. These solicitations indicate either tagging misalignment or that the code designation does not reflect the actual work being procured.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois (two IDPH procurements for HIV/Syphilis reagents), Texas (Collin County drug testing RFP due July 23, 2026, estimated value $600,000 with a two-year term and optional three one-year renewals; TDCJ forensic analysis RFP 696-IG-26-P034 due May 13, 2026), and Texas (TDCJ laboratory testing services), with sporadic activity in Florida, Austin, and Illinois. No clear pattern of repeat buyers or sustained procurement volume under this Commodity code emerges. The code shows no coherent market signal for Echinococcus serological reagents in state and local procurement — the opportunities tagged to it reflect divergent commodity and service categories that do not support a focused business development strategy under this code.
