UNSPSC 41151703: Alcohol test system

In this classification, a Alcohol test system is a device intended to measure Alcohol for clinical toxicology purposes. US FDA regulates Alcohol test system under 21 CFR 862.3040 and under FDA product code DLS

UNSPSC 41151703 Alcohol test system is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity posted under this classification in state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover specialized laboratory and research equipment including UAVs, microscopes, spectrometers, drift tower systems, induction furnaces, X-ray systems, and acoustic receivers—none of which are alcohol testing systems. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or data quality issues in the source records. State and local buyers posting under this code include Mississippi State University (the dominant issuer, accounting for roughly two-thirds of recent activity), the University of Southern Mississippi, Midwestern State University, Texas State University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Mississippi, Escambia County, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the Illinois State Police Department of Forensic Services, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Harris County Texas, the State of Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, and the State of Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. Procurement types are split between sole-source notices (the majority) and competitive bids or RFPs, reflecting both specialized research and commodity acquisitions.

Recent activity clusters in Mississippi, particularly around university research infrastructure, with secondary concentrations in Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Mississippi State University's sole-source procurement for a Redwire Stalker Block 40 UAV in fixed configuration ($2.086 million, notice posted October 9, 2026, objections due October 23, 2026), the University of Southern Mississippi's IFB for a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer with multiple deformation modes and temperature control (sealed bids due October 22, 2026), Mississippi State University's sole-source notice for a CEAD B.V. AM Flexbot hybrid robotic 3D printing system ($1.253 million, September 11, 2026), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's IFB for five Trace Level Dilution systems under federal EPA mandate (bids due August 27, 2026). The code sees consistent but highly specialized activity—nearly all opportunities are either sole-source equipment procurements or sealed-bid purchases for purpose-built research instruments, with little open-market competitive bidding typical of commodity codes.
