UNSPSC 51171517 Almasilate is a Commodity code that in practice covers drug and specimen testing services procured by state and local criminal justice agencies. The recent activity under this code reflects demand for comprehensive offender drug testing programs, including specimen collection, immunoassay screening, confirmatory laboratory analysis (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS), and alternative testing methodologies such as oral fluid and hair panels. State and local criminal justice and community supervision departments issue RFPs for these services; vendors must hold SAMHSA, state DPS, or CAP laboratory certifications and maintain capacity to process high-volume test panels (five-panel and six-panel screens) on a per-test pricing model with no surcharges permitted. Evaluation typically weights vendor qualifications, client references, and cost equally or nearly so, with optional phases for demonstrations and interviews.

Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department issued RFP 2026-327 in September 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services with a response deadline of July 23, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewals. The scope encompasses staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney operating Monday through Friday plus five Saturdays annually, operation of an Interactive Voice Response notification system, processing approximately 25,031 tests annually across multiple screening and confirmation formats, and electronic result reporting. The contract term commences September 1, 2026, with pricing redetermination limited to annual CPI-based adjustments not exceeding 3 percent. Award was anticipated August 10, 2026, with funding from Texas Department of Criminal Justice appropriations. No other state or local opportunities are reported in the source for this Commodity code.
