UNSPSC 41202043: Norovirus serological reagents

In this classification, Norovirus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Norovirus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Norovirus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3395 and under FDA product code OUC.

UNSPSC 41202043 Norovirus serological reagents, a Commodity code, covers diagnostic laboratory testing supplies and reagents used across public health, correctional, and clinical laboratory networks — though recent state and local opportunities show significant activity in HIV and syphilis testing kits, STI screening panels, and drugs-of-abuse analyzer supplies rather than norovirus-specific products. State and local issuing bodies include state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county health and corrections agencies (Collin County, Gwinnett County), municipal public health programs (City of Austin), and state criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The Illinois Department of Public Health appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitations for Abbott-manufactured HIV/syphilis reagents and NG/CT testing kits. Scope of work centers on proprietary laboratory analyzer consumables, controls, calibrators, and maintenance services; rapid diagnostic test kits for infectious disease screening; and drug testing supplies compatible with existing analyzer platforms. Recent solicitations emphasize CLIA certification compliance, electronic result reporting, turnaround-time specifications (24–72 hours for routine tests, 1–4 hours for STAT), and all-inclusive pricing with no surcharges for shipping, installation, or technical support.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health issued an emergency procurement for Abbott HIV/Syphilis reagents due August 18, 2026 (now expired), and a change order on September 29, 2026 expanding NG/CT testing volumes from 15,000 to 25,000 annual tests and collection kits from 15,000 to 30,000 units under a five-year contract valued at $900,000. The City of Austin posted two consecutive HIV test kit RFBs for Abbott Determine kits (due July 17, 2026, and reposted as a rebid due September 3, 2026), each specifying 375 test kits and 79 control kits annually. Collin County issued an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services due July 23, 2026 (now expired) covering approximately 25,031 annual tests with an estimated value of $600,000 over two years plus three optional renewals. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a drugs-of-abuse analyzer supplies RFQ due October 14, 2026 with minimal specification detail in available materials. Collin County also solicited general laboratory services in August 2025 (IFB 2025-166, response deadline October 2, 2025) for approximately 217 different test types with an estimated annual value of $70,000 and three one-year renewal options. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued laboratory testing services solicitation 696-IG-26-P034 (posted May 13, 2026, deadline May 13, 2026) covering nine service classifications with limited specification details available.
