UNSPSC 41202038: Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus serological reagents

In this classification, Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3360 and under FDA product code GQK.

UNSPSC 41202038 Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus serological reagents is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure diagnostic testing supplies, kits, and reagents for infectious disease detection, though recent activity shows the code tagged to sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV testing, drug screening, and general laboratory services rather than lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-specific reagents. The Illinois Department of Public Health, Collin County (Texas) departments, Gwinnett County (Georgia), the City of Austin, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have all posted solicitations under or tangentially related to this code in the past four months, indicating a mix of state health agencies, county health services and corrections departments, and municipal public health programs as the primary issuing bodies.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois, with Georgia also showing recent demand. The Illinois Department of Public Health posted an emergency procurement for Abbott HIV/Syphilis testing reagents and maintenance services (contract value $38,079.50, awarded to Abbott Laboratories Inc.) and a change order notice for Hologic NG/NT testing kits and collection supplies to increase annual test volume from 15,000 to 25,000 tests and kits from 15,000 to 30,000 units, raising contract cost by $375,000 to a revised total of $900,000 over five years (Solicitation 27482DPHOFCDIB53956, IFB, response due October 13, 2026). The City of Austin issued an IFB for rapid HIV test kits (Abbott Determine HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo Test kits and controls, estimated annual quantity 375 test kits and 79 control kits, response due September 3, 2026, rebid as IFB 9100 AAM1023REBID). Collin County posted an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services covering approximately 25,031 annual tests with staffing at two sites and lab certification requirements (RFP 2026-327, response deadline July 23, 2026, estimated annual value $600,000 with options to five years). The code shows material recent activity but exhibits a mismatch between the nominal scope (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus serological reagents) and the actual work being solicited (STI, HIV, drug screening, and general laboratory services), suggesting the code may be incorrectly applied to these opportunities or the taxonomy entry does not reflect current state and local purchasing practice.
