UNSPSC 41151731: Methaqualone test system

In this classification, a Methaqualone test system is a device intended to measure Methaqualone for clinical toxicology purposes. US FDA regulates Methaqualone test system under 21 CFR 862.3630 and under FDA product code KXS

UNSPSC 41151731 Methaqualone test system is a Commodity code that does not align with active state and local procurement. Recent opportunities posted under this code show no methaqualone testing equipment being purchased; instead, issuing bodies have tagged unrelated acquisitions — timeclock equipment at Mississippi State University, hydrogen generator supplies at Philadelphia, fire alarm system components at Mississippi State University, and string spectrometer instrumentation at Mississippi State University — suggesting systematic code misapplication rather than a coherent procurement segment. The code nominally identifies drug-testing reagents or laboratory apparatus, but state and local buyers posting under it are plainly acquiring general facilities equipment, analytical instruments, and specialized research apparatus across sectors from higher education to public health to public safety.

No representative recent opportunities for methaqualone testing systems exist in the posted record. The two most recent entries tagged to this code are a Mississippi State University sealed bid for timeclock equipment (due July 15, 2026) and a Philadelphia RFQ for hydrogen generator supplies (due July 15, 2026, micro purchase under $45,000). Mississippi State University appears as a repeat issuer across the wider opportunity set, posting sole-source procurements for research and laboratory equipment, though none specifically for the commodity nominally described by code 41151731. Activity is concentrated in Mississippi (Mississippi State University, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Mississippi), Texas (Texas A&M University System, Brazoria County, City of Albuquerque), Oregon (State of Oregon DCBS), and California (County of Santa Clara), with academic research institutions and state health and safety agencies dominating the issuer mix. The code shows no coherent purchasing pattern and appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a live procurement segment; vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to 41151731.
