UNSPSC 41202061: Staphylococcus aureusserological reagents

In this classification, Staphylococcus aureus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Staphylococcus aureus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Staphylococcus aureus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3700 and under FDA product code GTN.

UNSPSC 41202061 Staphylococcus aureusserological reagents is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers diagnostic testing supplies and reagents for sexually transmitted infections, HIV, syphilis, and drug screening — extending well beyond the code's nominal scope. State and local public health departments, corrections departments, and health care services divisions procure these supplies to support laboratory operations under frameworks including reagent rental agreements with analyzer manufacturers, competitive bidding for commodity kits, and sole-source emergency purchases when proprietary systems require exclusive consumables. The Illinois Department of Public Health has emerged as a repeat buyer, conducting both emergency sole-source procurements and competitive change orders for Abbott ARCHITECT analyzer reagents and supplies; Collin County, Texas appears across multiple service lines (offender drug testing, general health care laboratory services); and the City of Austin has posted successive bids for HIV test kits. Most solicitations specify turnaround requirements (24–72 hours for routine tests, 1–4 hours for STAT), CLIA and HIPAA compliance, and all-inclusive unit pricing with no separate surcharges for shipping, delivery, or staffing.

Recent opportunities cluster in Illinois and Texas. The Illinois Department of Public Health issued a change order notice (IFB, response due October 13, 2026) to increase contracted volumes of Hologic NG/NT testing and kits from 15,000 to 25,000 annual tests and from 15,000 to 30,000 collection kits, raising the five-year contract cost from $525,000 to $900,000. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department solicited offender specimen collection and drug testing services (RFP 2026-327, responses due July 23, 2026) for approximately 25,031 annual tests at an estimated $600,000 annual contract value. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a proposal request for drug testing supplies compatible with a drugs of abuse analyzer (RFP due October 14, 2026), though specific volumes and contract terms are not detailed. The City of Austin issued two successive HIV test kit bids (IFB 9100 AAM1023, July 17, 2026, and IFB 9100 AAM1023 REBID, September 3, 2026) for approximately 375 Abbott Determine test kits and 79 control kits annually. Collin County also procured general laboratory services (IFB 2025-166, response due October 2, 2025) through a certified medical laboratory provider at an estimated $70,000 annually, with anticipated 10% year-over-year volume growth. The Illinois Department of Public Health executed emergency sole-source procurements with Abbott Laboratories for HIV/Syphilis reagents (May 2026 final cost $38,079.50 and August 2026 emergency IFB due August 18, 2026) to maintain CLIA certification and uninterrupted testing operations.
