UNSPSC 41116205: Rapid test kits

UNSPSC 41116205 Rapid test kits (Commodity) covers diagnostic and substance-screening kits that state and local governments procure for drug testing, behavioral health monitoring, and forensic analysis — far broader than the code name alone suggests. Recent solicitations show counties and states buying pre-employment drug screening panels (immunoassay five- and six-panel tests with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation), urinalysis testing services for treatment courts, naloxone rapid-response kits, specialized assay kits for psychiatric drug-level monitoring (clozapine), certified reference materials for forensic drug analysis, and breath alcohol testing equipment. The buying pattern splits between consumable supplies (test kits, assay controls, reference materials, naloxone units) and service contracts bundling collection, specimen handling, lab analysis, and reporting. Issuing bodies span county community supervision and corrections departments, county health and human services agencies, state forensic laboratories, state attorney general offices, city college systems, and state law enforcement agencies, with no single repeat buyer dominating the code.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Seminole, Pinellas, Collier, and Clay counties posting multiple opportunities for employment screening and forensic work) and spans west to Oregon, Utah, and Nevada. Representative recent solicitations include Collin County, Texas RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing (due July 23, 2026, ~$600,000 estimated value, two-year base plus three one-year renewals), Benton County, Oregon proposal for urinalysis testing supporting a Family Treatment Court program (due July 6, 2026, CLIA-certified laboratory required, one-year term with four optional one-year renewals), Pinellas County, Florida Invitation to Quote for certified drug reference materials for forensic toxicology analysis (due April 23, 2026, approximately $49,034 available for equipment and supplies under federal Paul Coverdell funding), and City Colleges of Chicago RFP MWJ2603 for employment screening services including pre-employment drug testing, post-employment fitness-for-duty, and breath alcohol testing (due March 30, 2026, 1,500–1,600 candidates annually, 25% MBE and 7% WBE participation goals). The code shows active, sustained procurement across criminal justice, municipal health, forensic, and occupational health contexts with mixed single-award and multiple-vendor outcomes.
