UNSPSC 41181867: Povertyweed allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181867 Povertyweed allergenic extracts is a Commodity code whose nominal title bears no relation to the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code encompass HIV and Syphilis diagnostic testing reagents, clinical laboratory services, forensic analysis, offender drug screening, and pool maintenance—none of which involve allergenic plant extracts. The Illinois Department of Public Health has posted multiple procurements for HIV/Syphilis testing kits and reagents from Abbott Laboratories, including emergency sole-source awards totaling $38,079.50 and a five-year competitive IFB for fully automated combination screening technology with estimated annual volumes of 13,200 HIV tests and 11,000 Syphilis tests. The Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department issued an RFP on July 9, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) for offender specimen collection and drug testing services under a two-year contract with optional renewals, with approximately 25,031 annual tests and an estimated value of $600,000. The City of Austin posted an IFB on June 15, 2026 for rapid HIV test kits and controls, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited forensic analysis services for inmate evidence examination. The code shows no coherent product or service category—the tagging appears to be a data error rather than a meaningful classification signal.

The recent opportunities span Texas (Collin County, Austin, and TDCJ), Illinois (IDPH statewide), and a single higher-education procurement (University of Houston). Issuing bodies include county government, cities, state health and criminal-justice departments, and a public university. No pattern of repeat activity under this code exists—the opportunities reflect genuine demand for HIV/Syphilis diagnostic services, offender drug screening, and forensic laboratory work, but these solicitations are miscoded. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement matching purposes and monitor issuing bodies and UNSPSC classifications directly through RFP platforms and state procurement portals rather than rely on this code for targeting or filtering.
