UNSPSC 41181883: Weed allergenic extracts

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

UNSPSC 41181883 Weed allergenic extracts is a Commodity code that shows substantial misalignment between its nominal taxonomy name and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code do not involve allergenic extracts or weed-related products; instead, they predominantly comprise HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and C diagnostic testing services, reagents, and related laboratory supplies. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly or as a proxy classification by state and local procurement offices when the appropriate UNSPSC category for clinical laboratory testing services would be more precise. State and local buyers using this code include county corrections and supervision departments, municipal public health agencies, state departments of public health (laboratory divisions), universities with student health centers, and state criminal justice departments. The issuing-body mix spans county-level criminal justice and community supervision, city public health programs, multi-state university systems, and state-level public health and laboratory operations.

Geographic activity centers in Texas (Collin County, City of Austin, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Laboratories), and multi-state procurement through university systems and state agencies. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department'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 City of Austin's IFB 9100AAM1023 for Abbott Determine rapid HIV 1/2 test kits (due July 17, 2026), the Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency procurement of Abbott HIV and Syphilis reagents and ARCHITECT analyzer supplies (due August 18, 2026, final contract value $38,079.50), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP 696-IG-26-P034 for forensic analysis services including expert witness testimony (due May 13, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Public Health's IFB 26482DPHOFCDIB50489 for five-year Hepatitis/HIV/Syphilis fourth-generation assay screening and automated instrumentation (due March 16, 2026). The code does not align meaningfully with procurement activity actually occurring under its designation.
