UNSPSC 41181865: Poplar allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181865 Poplar allergenic extracts, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract definition suggests botanically derived allergen products for medical diagnostic or treatment use, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve sexually transmitted infection testing kits, drug testing supplies, HIV and syphilis reagents, and general laboratory services—none of which are poplar allergen extracts or related allergen products. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code is being used as a catch-all for certain laboratory testing consumables and services that do not fit the code's intended scope.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Illinois, with the Illinois Department of Public Health (through the Chief Procurement Office for General Services) conducting emergency and change-order procurements for HIV/syphilis reagents from Abbott Laboratories, while Collin County (Texas) issued an RFP for offender drug testing services due July 23, 2026, and the City of Austin issued an IFB for rapid HIV test kits (rebid as IFB 9100 AAM1023REBID due October 13, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia posted a brief RFP for drug testing supplies compatible with an existing analyzer system due October 14, 2026, and Collin County Health Care Services issued an IFB for general laboratory services (IFB 2025-166) with an original deadline of October 2, 2025. Given the disconnect between code definition and actual procurement content, vendors should verify code assignment during opportunity qualification rather than assume this Commodity code reliably identifies relevant buying activity.
