UNSPSC 41202051: Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents

In this classification, Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Respiratory syncytial virus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3480 and under FDA product code GQF.

UNSPSC 41202051 Respiratory syncytial virus serological reagents (Commodity) names a specific diagnostic test product, but recent state and local activity under this code centers on HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis screening assays, reagents, and related laboratory testing services rather than RSV serology alone. State and local governments procure these diagnostic kits and reagents to support public health surveillance, disease control, criminal justice offender drug testing, and university student health operations. The work spans reagent supply contracts (often including instrument provision, maintenance, and calibration), rapid diagnostic test kits for field or clinic deployment, and comprehensive laboratory testing services with result reporting and expert testimony. Issuing bodies include state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county criminal justice agencies (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department), municipal public health programs (City of Austin), state criminal justice departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and higher-education institutions (University of Houston).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health has conducted multiple procurements for HIV and Syphilis reagents, including an emergency sole-source award to Abbott Laboratories ($38,079.50, completed May 2026) and a competitive IFB for a five-year HIV/Syphilis/Hepatitis screening contract with automated instrumentation (bid deadline March 16, 2026, Jackson County). Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department issued RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services covering approximately 25,000 annual tests, with proposals due July 23, 2026 and estimated value of $600,000 over two years plus optional renewals. The City of Austin posted IFB 9100AAM1023 for rapid HIV test kits (Abbott Determine 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo, estimated 375 units annually) due July 17, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited forensic analysis services including serology and DNA testing capabilities (RFP 696-IG-26-P034, due May 13, 2026). Geographic distribution also includes Florida (Collier County pool maintenance unrelated to the code) and scattered university-level clinical laboratory procurements. Activity is moderate and episodic, driven by state public health mandates, criminal justice compliance requirements, and periodic reagent replenishment cycles tied to equipment platforms and regulatory certification maintenance.
