UNSPSC 41181890: Alder allergenic extract

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

UNSPSC 41181890 Alder allergenic extract is a Commodity code that nominally describes botanical allergen preparations, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code does not reflect allergenic extracts in any meaningful volume or concentration. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span emergency medical services pharmaceuticals, naloxone distribution, pharmacy benefits management, primary care medication dispensing, and parenteral nutrition solutions — a scope so broad and unrelated to the code's stated taxonomy that the code appears to be a miscategorization artifact rather than a live procurement family. The issuing bodies include state health agencies (New Jersey Department of Human Services, Washington State Department of Corrections), county health departments (DeKalb Public Health in Georgia, Seminole County in Florida), municipal fire departments (Tucson Fire Department in Arizona, Forsyth County Fire Department in Georgia), correctional systems, and Medicaid-adjacent public health programs. No single issuing body dominates, and repeat activity is limited — DeKalb Public Health appears twice with medication dispensing RFQs, but the broader pattern reflects one-off, scattered procurement rather than a consolidated commodity category.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Pacific Northwest (Washington), Southwest (Arizona), and Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey) with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative opportunities include Washington State Department of Corrections issuing an RFQQ for parenteral products and equipment (intravenous solutions, parenteral nutrition) with quotes due October 7, 2026; New Jersey Department of Human Services requesting bids for naloxone 4mg nasal spray with quotes due October 27, 2026, at approximately 223,000–265,500 cartons annually; and the State of Illinois executing a six-month extension of a master agreement with Emergent Devices Inc. for Narcan, valued at approximately $9 million, through December 31, 2026. A Collier County, Florida Notice of Intent to Single Source a mobile drug-dosage calculation application (Handtevy) with a three-year term beginning November 29, 2026 reflects EMS protocol integration rather than pharmaceutical supply. The code's nominal scope (alder allergenic extract) aligns with none of these opportunities, suggesting that state and local procurement systems have tagged diverse pharmaceutical and emergency medical supply solicitations under an inappropriate taxonomy marker.
