UNSPSC 41202044: Parainfluenza virus serological reagents

In this classification, Parainfluenza virus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Parainfluenza virus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Parainfluenza virus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3400 and under FDA product code GQP.

UNSPSC 41202044 Parainfluenza virus serological reagents is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of diagnostic laboratory reagents and testing services than its nominal scope suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing kits; clinical blood chemistry reagents; offender drug-screening immunoassay and confirmation services; and forensic serology testing. Issuing bodies span state health departments, county criminal justice and supervision agencies, municipal public health programs, university health centers, and state criminal justice departments. The Illinois Department of Public Health appears as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple procurements for HIV and Syphilis testing reagents and instrumentation, including both emergency sole-source awards to Abbott Laboratories and competitive invitations for bid. Other active buyers include Collin County (Texas) Community Supervision and Corrections Department, the City of Austin Public Health Program, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the University of Houston Student Health Center.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an RFP for forensic analysis services including serology and DNA testing (due May 13, 2026), while Collin County solicited offender specimen collection and drug testing services covering immunoassay screening with confirmatory testing across two collection sites (RFP 2026-327, due July 23, 2026, estimated contract value $600,000). The Illinois Department of Public Health issued a competitive invitation for bid for combined Hepatitis B and C, HIV, and Syphilis screening assays and instrumentation for Jackson County (IFB 26482DPHOFCDIB50489, due March 16, 2026) and two emergency procurements for Abbott HIV and Syphilis reagents ($38,079.50 each). The City of Austin sought rapid HIV test kits for the Austin Public Health Program through an IFB (IFB9100AAM1023, due July 17, 2026). No recent opportunities were identified for parainfluenza-specific serological reagents; the code appears to be tagged broadly to encompass multiple pathogen serology platforms procured by public health and correctional authorities.
