UNSPSC 51171516 Almagate, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specimen collection, drug testing, and related laboratory services for correctional and criminal justice supervision purposes. The code encompasses immunoassay screening with confirmatory testing (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS), electronic result reporting, alternative testing methodologies (oral fluid and hair testing), and staffing of collection sites, as evidenced by Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services covering approximately 25,031 annual tests across five-panel and six-panel screens. Issuing bodies are predominantly county correctional departments and criminal justice agencies; the Collin County opportunity indicates the type of end-user driving activity under this code.

Collin County, Texas, represents the primary recent activity under the code. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted RFP 2026-327 on July 9, 2026, for offender specimen collection and drug testing services with proposals due July 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The estimated contract value is $600,000 over a two-year initial term (September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2028) with three optional one-year renewal periods. The RFP covers staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney, operation of an Interactive Voice Response notification system, laboratory screening and confirmation testing, and electronic reporting. Vendors must hold lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP and submit pricing on a per-test basis across three service models: screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives. Evaluation weighs vendor understanding (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), client references (15 points), cost (30 points), and optional demonstrations and interviews (up to 30 points). The county reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors, with anticipated award on August 10, 2026. Funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations.
