UNSPSC 51171523 Carbohydrate is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices tag to drug testing and specimen collection services. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services illustrates the actual scope: the code captures laboratory-certified drug screening and confirmation testing delivered through staffed collection sites, with immunoassay screening followed by LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, alternative matrices including oral fluid and hair testing, randomized notification via Interactive Voice Response systems, and electronic result reporting. Pricing is per-test across three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives), and vendors must hold SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP lab certification. Collin County anticipates annual testing demand of approximately 25,031 tests and is evaluating proposals on vendor understanding and qualifications (55 combined points), client references (15 points), cost (30 points), and optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews (up to 30 points).

The code shows activity primarily in Texas. Collin County's RFP 2026-327 represents the recent market signal under this code, with an estimated contract value of $600,000, a two-year initial term commencing September 1, 2026, and three optional one-year renewals for a five-year total, funded through Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations subject to annual availability. The solicitation closes July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with award anticipated August 10, 2026. The county explicitly reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors and will make price redetermination requests only at September 1 anniversaries, with increases capped at 3.0 percent annually based on medical Consumer Price Index adjustments. All pricing must include freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing with no additional surcharges permitted.
