UNSPSC 41181882: Waterhemp allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181882 Waterhemp allergenic extracts is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to its nominal scope. The code identifies allergen extracts used in clinical immunology and allergy testing; however, the opportunities posted under this classification instead span forensic laboratory testing, drug screening, HIV and syphilis diagnostic assays, clinical chemistry reagents, and pool maintenance services. The mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement content suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local systems to capture broader laboratory and diagnostic testing categories unrelated to waterhemp allergens specifically.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and jurisdictions. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (Texas) issued an RFP on July 9, 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services with a due date of July 23, 2026, estimated at $600,000 over two years. The City of Austin posted an IFB on June 15, 2026 for rapid HIV test kits with a July 17, 2026 deadline. The Illinois Department of Public Health conducted emergency procurements in February and May 2026 for Abbott HIV and Syphilis reagents. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited forensic analysis services and laboratory testing in April and May 2026. The University of Houston sought clinical diagnostic laboratory services in March 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITB in April 2026 for pool maintenance. The geographic activity spans Texas, Illinois, and Florida, with additional activity in higher education procurement. Given the substantial misalignment between the code definition and actual buy categories, business development professionals should verify applicable codes directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under this classification.
