UNSPSC 41151709: Barbiturate test system

In this classification, a Barbiturate test system is a device intended to measure Barbiturate for clinical toxicology purposes. US FDA regulates Barbiturate test system under 21 CFR 862.3150 and under FDA product code DMF

UNSPSC 41151709 Barbiturate test system is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. The recent opportunities block shows no active procurements for barbiturate testing systems or related laboratory diagnostic equipment. Instead, the tagged opportunities span unrelated scientific instruments—X-ray diffractometers, mass spectrometers, acoustic telemetry receivers, 3D printers, induction furnaces, robotic platforms, microscopes, and spectroscopy systems—none of which are barbiturate test systems or even closely allied to point-of-care or clinical drug screening. One opportunity (Illinois State Police Department of Forensic Services) addresses DNA analysis cartridges and maintenance for Applied Biosystems Rapid DNA systems, which serve forensic applications rather than barbiturate detection. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of the mismatched opportunities spans Mississippi (primarily Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi), Illinois (state police and environmental agencies), Texas (universities and health services), Oregon (state agencies), Wisconsin (university system), and Florida (county health department), reflecting scattered higher-education and state-agency purchasing rather than a coherent procurement stream for barbiturate testing platforms. No evidence suggests state or local procurement offices are actively soliciting barbiturate test systems under this code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify whether the actual commodity of interest falls under a different UNSPSC designation.
