UNSPSC 41181701: Apricot allergenic extracts

In this classification, this entry connotes an extract made of Apricot used in an Immunological Allergenic test.

UNSPSC 41181701 Apricot allergenic extracts is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code designation suggests botanical allergen products, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly reflect clinical diagnostic laboratory services, infectious disease testing supplies, and forensic analysis — work categorically unrelated to apricot-derived allergenic materials. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health departments (Illinois Department of Public Health), county corrections and public health agencies (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, City of Austin Public Health Program), state criminal justice systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and higher education institutions (University of Houston). Work actually being procured includes HIV and Syphilis reagent kits and instrumentation, offender drug screening and specimen collection services, rapid diagnostic test kits, forensic biological analysis with expert witness testimony, and clinical laboratory chemistry testing — none of which relates to allergenic extracts.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Florida, with the most recent and highest-value opportunities emerging from Texas and Illinois. Representative solicitations include Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (due July 23, 2026, estimated contract value $600,000, two-year term with three optional one-year renewals); the City of Austin's IFB 9100AAM1023 for rapid HIV test kits (due July 17, 2026); the Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency procurement for Abbott HIV and Syphilis reagents (due August 18, 2026, $38,079.50 sole-source award to Abbott Laboratories); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP 696-IG-26-P034 for forensic analysis of biological evidence with expert witness testimony (due May 13, 2026). The code appears to reflect a cataloging or tagging error rather than legitimate procurement demand for apricot allergenic extracts; vendors in allergenic extract manufacturing or distribution would find no relevant opportunities under this designation.
