UNSPSC 41181840: Hop allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181840 Hop allergenic extracts is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly consist of HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis testing services, reagents, kits, and forensic laboratory analysis — not hop allergen products. The Illinois Department of Public Health has posted multiple emergency procurements for Abbott HIV and Syphilis testing reagents (February through May 2026), the City of Austin issued an IFB for Abbott Determine HIV test kits (June 2026), and the University of Houston solicited clinical diagnostic laboratory services including blood chemistry and enzyme analysis (March 2026). Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department is seeking offender specimen collection and drug testing services under RFP 2026-327 (due July 23, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted solicitations for forensic analysis and laboratory testing services. The issuing bodies span state health departments, county correction and supervision agencies, municipal public health authorities, and universities. Geographic activity centers on Illinois, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in states typically associated with hop production or allergen research.

The code shows no decision-relevant recent opportunities actually purchasing hop allergenic extracts or products aligned with the code's stated commodity name. The mismatch between code designation and actual procurement content suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or a dormant code in state and local procurement. Vendors pursuing HIV and Syphilis testing, laboratory diagnostics, and forensic analysis services should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for those commodities rather than rely on this code's designation. The recent activity offers no signal of viable procurement volume under the hop allergen code itself.
