UNSPSC 41202054: Rubella virus serological reagents

In this classification, Rubella virus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Rubella virus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Rubella virus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3510 and under FDA product code GON.

UNSPSC 41202054 Rubella virus serological reagents is a Commodity code that encompasses infectious disease diagnostic testing supplies — specifically serological reagents and test kits for the identification and confirmation of disease exposure and infection status. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show significant divergence from the nominal rubella focus, with actual procurements centering on HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis screening assays, rapid HIV test kits, forensic specimen analysis, drug testing services for criminal offenders, and general clinical laboratory chemistry reagents. Issuing bodies include state health and criminal justice departments (Illinois Department of Public Health, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections, and Collier County), and municipalities (City of Austin). The Collin County and City of Austin solicitations represent the most straightforward match to the code's apparent intent — specimen collection, screening, and diagnostic testing operations — while the TDCJ forensic and Collier County pool maintenance opportunities show clear mismatch and likely reflect coding errors at the issuing-body level.

The geographic spread reflects activity in Texas (Collin County, Austin, and TDCJ solicitations), Illinois (Illinois Department of Public Health emergency procurements and planned Jackson County service), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (proposals due July 23, 2026, estimated contract value $600,000 over two years with three optional renewals), the City of Austin's IFB 9100AAM1023 for rapid HIV test kits (proposals due July 17, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Public Health's IFB for Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis screening assays and instrumentation in Jackson County (proposals due March 16, 2026). The Illinois Department of Public Health also executed two emergency sole-source contracts with Abbott Laboratories for HIV and Syphilis reagents in February and May 2026, totaling $38,079.50 each. Activity shows active state-level procurement of clinical diagnostics and public health testing supplies alongside criminal justice specimen handling, with Texas and Illinois representing the primary markets.
