UNSPSC 51171637: Lactitol

This classification denotes an artificial sweetener with the molecular formula C12H24O11, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier L2B0WJF7ZY, chemically known as d-glucitol, 4-o-beta-d-galactopyranosyl- but generally known as lactitol, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 91476. European Medicines Agency schedules Lactitol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08385MIG.

UNSPSC 51171637 Lactitol is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—concerns laboratory testing methodologies (immunoassay screening, LC/MS/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing) and collection-site staffing rather than the purchase or supply of lactitol as a chemical ingredient or pharmaceutical excipient. The scope includes testing logistics, result reporting, and lab certification requirements, with no reference to lactitol procurement or usage.

The mismatch suggests either a coding anomaly in the opportunity record or that lactitol may serve as a trace component in testing reagents or laboratory standards not explicitly detailed in the solicitation summary. The Collin County RFP, due July 23, 2026, carries an estimated contract value of $600,000 over a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals, with pricing on a per-test basis for approximately 25,031 annual tests. Without additional recent opportunities explicitly tied to lactitol supply or formulation, the code shows limited signal for direct lactitol procurement at the state and local level in the current market.
