UNSPSC 41181866: Populus alba allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181866 Populus alba allergenic extracts (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass clinical diagnostic laboratory testing services — including HIV screening, Syphilis serology, Hepatitis B and C assays, forensic analysis of biological evidence, and offender drug testing — rather than plant-derived allergenic materials. State and local health departments, criminal justice agencies, and public health programs are the primary issuing bodies, with particular repeat activity from the Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Laboratories and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The Illinois Department of Public Health has conducted multiple procurements for HIV and Syphilis reagents and screening instrumentation, while Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Office of the Inspector General have solicited forensic analysis and drug testing services. The scope encompasses immunoassay screening with confirmatory testing (LC/MS/MS, GC/MS), SAMHSA- or CAP-certified laboratory operations, expert witness testimony, and specimen collection staffing across multiple testing modalities including oral fluid and hair analysis.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Illinois, with secondary activity in Florida and among higher-education institutions. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (due July 23, 2026, estimated value $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewals), the Illinois Department of Public Health's IFB 26482DPHOFCDIB50489 for Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis screening assays and instrumentation in Jackson County (due March 16, 2026, five-year contract with up to five renewal years), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP 696-IG-26-P034 for forensic analysis of biological evidence and expert witness testimony (due May 13, 2026, Base Period through August 31, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals). The City of Austin issued IFB 9100AAM1023 for rapid HIV test kits (due July 17, 2026) with optional Small Business Preference Program participation. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code name and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment; vendors pursuing this code should verify alignment with their diagnostic testing, reagent supply, or forensic laboratory capabilities rather than relying on the allergenic extract classification.
