UNSPSC 41202020: Entamoeba histolyticaserological reagents

In this classification, Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Entamoeba histolytica antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3220 and under FDA product code KHW.

UNSPSC 41202020 Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual testing and reagent products being solicited under this designation by state and local jurisdictions. The recent opportunities catalog shows state and local agencies are procuring HIV test kits, syphilis reagents, sexually transmitted infection testing supplies, drug testing analyzer consumables, and related diagnostic laboratory services — none of which fall under Entamoeba histolytica serology. The code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling rather than an active procurement category for infectious-disease or communicable-disease testing supplies as currently used by state agencies, counties, and municipalities.

The most recent opportunities under this UNSPSC designation span Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) emergency procurements for Abbott HIV and syphilis reagent kits and analyzer consumables; the City of Austin RFPs for rapid HIV Type 1 and Type 2 test kits (IFB 9100 AAM1023 and its rebid IFB 9100 AAM1023 REBID, with response dates July 17, 2026 and September 3, 2026); Collin County, Texas RFPs for offender drug testing services and specimen collection (RFP 2026-327) and general laboratory services (IFB 2025-166); Gwinnett County, Georgia procurement for drug testing supplies (RFQ PE77023NONST2027000000764, response due October 14, 2026); and Texas Department of Criminal Justice forensic laboratory testing services (solicitation 696IG26P034). Issuing bodies include state health departments, county criminal justice and community supervision agencies, city public health programs, and county health care services departments. Illinois IDPH has appeared as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple sole-source emergency procurements with Abbott Laboratories Inc. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Collin County, Austin, TDCJ), Georgia (Gwinnett County), and Illinois (IDPH), with no corresponding evidence that the nominal Entamoeba histolytica serological reagents code is driving actual purchasing behavior in these jurisdictions.
