UNSPSC 41181818: Cattail allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181818 Cattail allergenic extracts (Commodity) shows a material mismatch between its code name and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve clinical laboratory testing services, diagnostic test kits, and medical specimen analysis—sexually transmitted infection screening (Illinois Department of Public Health), offender drug testing (Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Texas), general medical laboratory services (Collin County Health Care Services, Texas), HIV rapid test kits (City of Austin), and forensic laboratory services (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). None of these solicitations relate to allergenic extracts or immunotherapy supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health departments and county corrections or healthcare agencies across Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, with city public health programs also appearing. The code does not reflect actual procurement intent or commodity alignment.

The recent opportunities identified under this code span clinical diagnostics, drug screening, and infectious disease testing rather than allergenic extract sourcing. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Public Health's change order for Hologic NG/NT gonorrhea and chlamydia testing kits (contract modification posted September 29, 2026, due October 13, 2026; revised contract cost $900,000 over five years), Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP for offender drug testing services (due July 23, 2026; estimated value $600,000 over two years with three optional renewals), the City of Austin's IFB for rapid HIV test kits (due September 3, 2026; estimated 375 test kits and 79 control kits annually), and the Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency procurement for Abbott HIV and Syphilis reagents (due August 18, 2026; $38,079.50 contract value). Activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing procurement office before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the current tagging does not reflect the clinical laboratory and diagnostic testing services actually being solicited.
