UNSPSC 41202071: West nile virus serological reagents

In this classification, West nile virus serological reagents are devices used in test to identify specific West nile virus antibodies in serum. US FDA regulates West nile virus serological reagents under 21 CFR 866.3940 and under FDA product code NOP.

UNSPSC 41202071 West nile virus serological reagents is a Commodity code that frames state and local procurement of diagnostic testing supplies and laboratory services for infectious disease detection and public health surveillance, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct alignment with West Nile virus serology specifically. The code appears in the source alongside HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing reagents, blood chemistry diagnostics, and forensic laboratory analysis services—a broader family of diagnostic and laboratory work than the West Nile virus code name suggests. Issuing bodies include state departments of public health (Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Laboratories), county corrections and community supervision departments (Collin County, Texas), cities (Austin), state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county park systems (Collier County), and higher education institutions (University of Houston). The recent opportunities reflect a mix of competitive solicitations (RFP, RFQ, IFB) and sole-source emergency procurements for Abbott Laboratories HIV and Syphilis reagents, indicating that specialized diagnostic reagents often consolidate around single manufacturers due to instrument-ecosystem lock-in and FDA approval constraints.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois, with representative recent opportunities including Collin County's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (due July 23, 2026, $600,000 estimated value over two years with three optional one-year renewals), the City of Austin's IFB 9100AAM1023 for HIV test kits (due July 17, 2026), the Illinois Department of Public Health's IFB 26482DPHOFCDIB50489 for Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis 4th generation assay screening and instrumentation in Jackson County (due March 16, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP 696-IG-26-P034 for forensic analysis including serology and DNA testing (proposals due May 13, 2026). Two Illinois Department of Public Health emergency sole-source procurements to Abbott Laboratories (February and May 2026, totaling $38,079.50) underscore that when instrumentation and reagent systems are proprietary, competitive procurement becomes infeasible and emergency declarations follow failed competitive bids. The source does not name recent solicitations explicitly tied to West Nile virus serology, suggesting the code sees limited current activity relative to broader diagnostic testing categories.
