UNSPSC 42231811: Glucose tablets or gels or supplements for treatment of hypoglycemia

Glucose supplementation supplies that may be administered by patient or first responder to elevate blood sugar levels to normal range.

UNSPSC 42231811 Glucose tablets or gels or supplements for treatment of hypoglycemia is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows little activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span offender drug testing services, general medical laboratory testing, and mental health clinical diagnostics—none of which center on hypoglycemia management or glucose supplementation. The issuing bodies are all Texas jurisdictions: Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, Collin County Health Care Services, and the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD. These are county and special-purpose health agencies rather than school districts, transit authorities, or state departments.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, specifically the Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan areas. Recent opportunities include Collin County's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (due July 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 and a two-year term with optional renewals), Collin County's IFB 2025-166 for general laboratory services to support health care operations (response deadline October 2, 2025, estimated annual value approximately $70,000), and the Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD's RFP for agency-wide clinical laboratory services with an RFP due date of June 17, 2026, and a September 1, 2026 contract start. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch; the procurement activity is in general clinical and forensic laboratory services rather than hypoglycemia-specific glucose products, signaling either a classification error in the state and local data or minimal actual purchasing activity under this commodity code.
