UNSPSC 41202070: Vibrio choleraeserological reagents

In this classification, Vibrio cholerae serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific Vibrio cholerae antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates Vibrio cholerae serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3930 and under FDA product code GSQ.

UNSPSC 41202070 Vibrio cholerae serological reagents is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers HIV and Syphilis testing reagents, test kits, and related diagnostic supplies—a significant divergence from the code's nominal scope. State and local health departments, public health programs, and criminal justice agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with the Illinois Department of Public Health appearing as a repeat buyer conducting multiple procurements for HIV/Syphilis reagents and automated screening instrumentation. The City of Austin and Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department have also solicited under or near this code for diagnostic testing services and supplies. The work being solicited ranges from specific branded reagent kits (Abbott Determine HIV 1/2 Ag/Ab Combo Test kits) to comprehensive automated screening systems capable of simultaneous Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV-1/HIV-2, and Syphilis testing from a single specimen, with contracting bodies bearing equipment costs and vendors responsible for instrumentation, maintenance, repairs, and reagent supply bundled into per-test pricing.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Texas, with secondary solicitations from Florida and Arizona. Illinois Department of Public Health issued an Invitation for Bid in February 2026 (26482DPHOFCDIB50489, due March 16, 2026) for a five-year HIV/Hepatitis/Syphilis automated screening contract with approximately 3,300 Hepatitis B, 3,000 Hepatitis C, 13,200 HIV, and 11,000 Syphilis tests annually; IDPH also conducted emergency sole-source procurements with Abbott Laboratories in February and May 2026 totaling $38,079.50 for reagent kits and maintenance services. The City of Austin released an Invitation for Bid in June 2026 (IFB9100AAM1023, due July 17, 2026) for rapid HIV test kits at estimated annual volumes of 375 Abbott Determine units, with a Small Business Preference Program available. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted an RFP in July 2026 (2026-327, due July 23, 2026) for offender specimen collection and drug testing services at approximately 25,031 annual tests with an estimated contract value of $600,000 and a two-year term commencing September 1, 2026. Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited laboratory testing services in April and May 2026 (696IG26P034) but detailed specifications were not fully available in the notice. The code shows active procurement volume but limited breadth of issuing bodies—concentration among state health departments and county/municipal public health and criminal justice functions rather than broad-based demand.
