UNSPSC 51171516 Almagate is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure offender drug testing and specimen collection services. The work involves staffing collection sites, operating randomized testing notification systems, conducting immunoassay screening with confirmatory analysis (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS), reporting results electronically, and offering alternative testing modalities including oral fluid and hair analysis. Vendors must maintain laboratory certification from SAMHSA, the Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP. Pricing is structured on a per-test basis with three service models—screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives—and must include all staffing, freight, delivery, and insurance costs with no additional surcharges. Annual testing volumes in recent solicitations range to approximately 25,000 tests annually. County-level community supervision and corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies for this code.
