UNSPSC 51171519 Attapulgite is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327, posted September 25, 2026, solicits offender specimen collection and drug testing services — immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, electronic result reporting, oral fluid and hair testing alternatives, and Interactive Voice Response system operation for randomized test notifications. This work falls outside attapulgite's scope as a mineral product used in industrial and consumer applications and suggests a code-tagging misalignment rather than genuine mineral procurement under this Commodity designation.

The RFP targets approximately 25,031 annual tests across two collection sites in Plano and McKinney, Texas, with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals not to exceed five years total. The estimated contract value is $600,000, with pricing submitted on a per-test basis across three service models. Collin County reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors. Vendor qualifications include SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP laboratory certification. Proposals were due July 23, 2026, with an anticipated award date of August 10, 2026. No other recent state and local opportunities tagged under this Commodity code appear in the source, indicating minimal or misaligned procurement activity under UNSPSC 51171519.
