UNSPSC 51171640 Picosulfate is a Commodity code. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchase of the chemical picosulfate itself; instead, Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, posted September 25, 2026, indicates the code may be misapplied or used as a catch-all for laboratory testing reagents and materials used in drug-screening operations. The solicitation calls for immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing, and electronic result reporting at two collection sites in Plano and McKinney, operating Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. plus five Saturdays annually. The vendor must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP and handle approximately 25,031 tests annually across five-panel, six-panel, and ancillary testing modalities. This represents the sole recent opportunity visible under the code.

Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department is the identified issuing body. The RFP 2026-327 has a response deadline of July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and an estimated contract value of $600,000 over a two-year base term with three optional one-year renewals not to exceed five years total. Pricing is submitted on a per-test basis across three service models—screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives—with all costs including freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing. The anticipated award date is August 10, 2026. Funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations, subject to annual availability. The evaluation criteria weigh vendor understanding (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), client references (15 points), and cost (30 points), with optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews worth up to 30 additional points. The county reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors.
