Reagents used for other tests

UNSPSC 42181548 IVD reagents is a Commodity code that encompasses diagnostic testing reagents and reference materials used in clinical laboratory operations across state and local healthcare, criminal justice, environmental monitoring, and occupational health programs. State and local governments procure these materials for in-house laboratory testing, forensic analysis, drug screening, water quality monitoring, and occupational health screening. Recent solicitations show demand for drug screening reagents, proficiency testing samples, microbial source tracking assays, flow cytometry calibration materials, and certified reference standards for forensic and toxicology laboratories.

Activity under this code spans county departments, municipal water utilities, state criminal justice agencies, and public health systems across multiple states. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Pinellas County's forensic laboratory, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have posted recent solicitations.
