UNSPSC 41202026: Flavobacterium spp. serological reagents

In this classification, Flavobacterium genus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Flavobacterium genus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Flavobacterium genus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3270 and under FDA product code GSW.

UNSPSC 41202026 Flavobacterium spp. serological reagents is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—serological reagents for a specific bacterial genus—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it, which predominantly concern HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing kits and services rather than Flavobacterium-specific diagnostics. State and local buyers under this code include county community supervision departments, municipal public health agencies, state departments of public health, and university health centers. The actual work being procured includes rapid HIV screening kits (Abbott Determine and other manufacturers), Syphilis and Hepatitis reagents for automated and manual testing, and comprehensive offender drug testing and forensic laboratory services that incorporate serology and DNA analysis alongside toxicology.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Illinois, and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health has posted multiple emergency procurements for HIV and Syphilis reagents with Abbott Laboratories, including an IFB for a five-year automated screening contract (due March 16, 2026) estimated at approximately 3,300 Hepatitis B tests, 3,000 Hepatitis C tests, 13,200 HIV tests, and 11,000 Syphilis tests annually. Collin County, Texas issued RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (due July 23, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $600,000 annually across two collection sites, requiring SAMHSA or CAP lab certification and immunoassay screening with confirmation capabilities. The City of Austin posted IFB 9100AAM1023 for rapid HIV test kits (due July 17, 2026) specifying Abbott Determine products with an estimated annual volume of 375 test kits and 79 control kits. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued RFP 696-IG-26-P034 for forensic analysis including serology and DNA testing for inmate evidence (due May 13, 2026) requiring A2LA or ANAB accreditation with ISO/IEC 17025 compliance. The code shows limited depth and breadth of relevant procurement activity; mismatch between the code's stated focus and actual buying patterns suggests misclassification or dormancy for Flavobacterium-specific diagnostics in state and local markets.
