UNSPSC 41131715 Abnormal hemoglobin assay (Commodity) describes laboratory specimen testing and analysis services for drug screening, urinalysis, and toxicology work—though recent state and local activity under this code spans a broader scope including offender drug testing, occupational health screening, forensic drug analysis, and point-of-care substance assay. State and local governments procure these services through a mix of county community supervision and corrections departments, county health care services, city public-safety and human-resources functions, and specialized forensic laboratories operated by state law-enforcement agencies and county medical examiners. Testing encompasses immunoassay screening with confirmatory methods (LC/MS/MS, GC/MS), urinalysis panels, alternative matrices (oral fluid, hair), and reference standards for laboratory method validation. Counties and cities source these services both as outsourced testing services (with labs performing analysis off-site) and as consumables and reagents for in-house laboratory operations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, North Carolina, and New Mexico. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (due July 23, 2026, approximately 25,031 annual tests, estimated contract value $600,000, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals); Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IFB for drug testing supplies for an existing drugs-of-abuse analyzer (due October 14, 2026); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posted an IFB for proprietary chemical laboratory equipment and supplies including DNA analysis kits, forensic reagents, and direct ELISA kits for controlled-substance detection (due October 20, 2026, serving Texas Department of Public Safety and Department of Parks and Wildlife statewide); Benton County, Oregon posted an RFP for urinalysis testing services for a family treatment court program (due July 7, 2026, one-year initial term with optional annual renewals through five years maximum); and Pinellas County, Florida (with Florida Department of Law Enforcement as pass-through) posted an Invitation to Quote for certified drug reference standards for forensic laboratory validation and analysis (due April 23, 2026, $72,126.85 federal funding with approximately $49,034 for equipment and supplies, SBE preference offered).
