UNSPSC 41202058: Serratia spp. serological reagents

In this classification, Serratia genus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Serratia genus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Serratia genus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3630 and under FDA product code GTA.

UNSPSC 41202058 Serratia spp. serological reagents is a Commodity code that describes diagnostic testing reagents and related laboratory supplies for infectious disease screening, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment with the code's specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly address HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing services and reagents—not Serratia serological reagents. Issuing bodies include state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county criminal justice agencies (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department), municipal health authorities (City of Austin), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and higher education institutions (University of Houston). The work ranges from bulk procurement of FDA-cleared HIV/Syphilis test kits and reagents to comprehensive forensic and clinical laboratory testing services spanning specimen collection, immunoassay screening, LC/MS/MS and GC/MS confirmation, and expert witness testimony.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health has issued multiple procurements for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis screening assays and instrumentation (IFB 26482DPHOFCDIB50489, due March 16, 2026, and emergency procurements in February and May 2026). Collin County, Texas issued RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services due July 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 and annual testing demand of approximately 25,031 tests across five- and six-panel screens with confirmation capabilities. The City of Austin solicited HIV test kit bids (IFB 9100AAM1023, due July 17, 2026) for Abbott Determine test kits supporting the Austin Public Health Program. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued RFP 696-IG-26-P034 (due May 13, 2026) for forensic analysis including serological and DNA testing with expert witness testimony. The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically for Serratia serological reagents; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the infectious-disease (primarily HIV/Syphilis) testing dominating recent solicitations suggests classification or tagging misalignment in the state and local systems.
