UNSPSC 42181550: Real-time gene amplificator, nucleic anid

A device capable of amplifying nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) of cells or infectious agents in clinical samples for disease diagnosis, confirming real-time amplification through a fluorescence detector, and quantifying nucleic acids in samples.

UNSPSC 42181550 Real-time gene amplificator, nucleic acid (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve medical supplies and law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles, none of which represent real-time gene amplification or nucleic acid testing instrumentation that the code name suggests.

The source shows no recent state or local opportunities directly soliciting real-time gene amplifiers, nucleic acid analyzers, or related laboratory instrumentation. Two NASPO ValuePoint RFPs posted in September and October 2026 (NVP1433, due November 9, 2026) seek medical supplies broadly through a cooperative purchasing consortium sponsored by Idaho state agencies and open to NASPO ValuePoint participating entities across multiple states, with South Dakota as the administering state; the specific commodity categories and contract value are not detailed. A third opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 (posted May 2026, due June 16, 2026), solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of Washington counties and public entities nationwide through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle. The code's tagging of these generalist medical-supply and law-enforcement procurements suggests either miscategorization at the issuing-body level or that real-time gene amplification work under this code does not currently surface in state and local RFP activity. Business development professionals should verify directly with health departments, state laboratories, and public health agencies whether this code is actively used for molecular diagnostics procurement or whether relevant opportunities are tagged differently.
