UNSPSC 41151730: Methadone test system

In this classification, a Methadone test system is a device intended to measure Methadone for clinical toxicology purposes. US FDA regulates Methadone test system under 21 CFR 862.3620 and under FDA product code DJR

UNSPSC 41151730 Methadone test system (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the source material. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span research equipment, laboratory instruments, and specialized systems—including X-ray diffractometers, cold spray additive manufacturing systems, microscopes, acoustic telemetry receivers, anechoic chambers, and spectrometers—none of which are methadone testing platforms or drug screening consumables. The code's nominal scope (methadone test systems) does not match what state and local agencies are actually procuring under it.

Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi dominate the recent activity, each issuing multiple sole-source procurement notices between June and October 2026. Supporting buyers include the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System, Midwestern State University, and single opportunities from state health agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois EPA, Illinois State Police, Oregon DCBS), county governments (Escambia County, Harris County), and a city procurement office (Philadelphia). The majority of opportunities are sole-source requests—universities justify single-vendor status on exclusive technical capability, proprietary integration, or OEM-only compatibility—rather than competitive RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs. Mississippi State University appears 20+ times as the issuing body, with notices consistently directed to Jennifer Mayfield as the chief procurement officer. Recent opportunities cluster in research infrastructure (materials science, analytical chemistry, aerospace, manufacturing), with contract values ranging from approximately $6,000 to $1.25 million for integrated systems. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Mississippi and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Florida.
