UNSPSC 41181804: Amaranth allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181804 Amaranth allergenic extracts (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to allergenic extracts derived from amaranth, yet the recent solicitations under this code address sexually transmitted infection testing kits, offender drug testing services, HIV rapid-test kits, and laboratory diagnostic services—none of which involve amaranth or allergenic extracts. This classification error suggests the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies or has been assigned incorrectly by procurement systems, and does not represent genuine demand for the product the code purports to describe.

Recent opportunities attributed to this code originate from Illinois Department of Public Health (emergency HIV/syphilis reagent procurements), Collin County Texas (offender specimen collection and drug testing services, and lab services), City of Austin Texas (HIV test kits), and Gwinnett County Georgia (drugs of abuse analyzer supplies). The geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency procurement of Abbott HIV/Syphilis reagents (May 2026, $38,079.50 total cost), Collin County's RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (posted September 2026, estimated contract value $600,000, responses due July 23, 2026), and City of Austin's IFB for Abbott Determine HIV test kits (IFB 9100 AAM1023, posted June 2026, approximately 375 test kits and 79 control kits annually). The code exhibits active procurement volume but does not correspond to its UNSPSC name and definition, indicating that vendors pursuing opportunities under this classification should verify the actual commodity or service requirement before committing resources to pursuit.
