UNSPSC 41202103: Enzyme preparations

In this classification Enzyme preparations are products that are used in the histopathology laboratory for the following purposes: to disaggregate tissues and cells already in established cultures for preparation into subsequent cultures (e.g., trypsin); to disaggregate fluid specimens for cytological examination (e.g., papain for gastric lavage or trypsin for sputum liquefaction); to aid in the selective staining of tissue specimens (e.g., diastase for glycogen determination). US FDA regulates Enzyme preparations under 21 CFR 864.4400 and under FDA product code IBC.

UNSPSC 41202103 Enzyme preparations (Commodity) covers diagnostic testing reagents and kits that state and local health departments, criminal justice agencies, and public health institutions procure to screen and confirm infections — primarily HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing systems used in clinical and forensic laboratories. Recent solicitations show these agencies buying rapid test kits, automated screening assays with integrated instrumentation, reagent cartridges and consumables, calibration and control kits, and related maintenance services. The mix of issuing bodies spans state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county criminal justice supervision agencies (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department), city public health programs (City of Austin), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and public universities (University of Houston). The Illinois Department of Public Health appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer of Abbott-manufactured reagents and instrumentation for multi-site laboratory networks.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health has posted multiple emergency and competitive procurements since February 2026 for HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis screening assays and instruments, including an IFB issued February 13, 2026 (due March 16, 2026) for a five-year contract with up to five renewal years seeking fully automated screening technology with estimated annual volumes of 3,300 Hepatitis B tests, 3,000 Hepatitis C tests, 13,200 HIV tests, and 11,000 Syphilis tests, and two emergency sole-source awards to Abbott Laboratories (May 5 and May 21, 2026) totaling $38,079.50 for reagents and consumables. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department issued RFP 2026-327 on July 9, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) for offender specimen collection and drug testing services covering approximately 25,031 annual tests at six collection sites across two locations, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 and a two-year initial term commencing September 1, 2026. The City of Austin posted IFB 9100AAM1023 on June 15, 2026 (due July 17, 2026) for rapid HIV test kits (Abbott Determine brand) to support public health programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued RFP 696-IG-26-P034 on April 13, 2026 (due May 13, 2026) for forensic laboratory testing services including urine and feces stain analysis with expert witness testimony, requiring ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and serology/DNA testing credentials.
