UNSPSC 51171641 Polyethylene glycol is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement maps primarily to drug testing and specimen collection services rather than the chemical compound itself. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department issued RFP 2026-327 in September 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, reflecting how this code captures the materials and lab work embedded in criminal justice testing operations. The scope of work under this code includes immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing methodologies, electronic result reporting, staffing of collection sites, and operation of randomized testing notification systems. Issuing bodies under this code consist primarily of county criminal justice and community corrections departments managing supervised offender populations, though the code may also reflect procurement by state departments of criminal justice and local law enforcement agencies.

The Collin County RFP—due July 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 and a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals—represents the recent activity visible under this code. The county sought proposals for staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney on a Monday-through-Friday basis plus five Saturdays annually, with approximately 25,031 annual tests comprising five-panel and six-panel screens and ancillary testing. Vendors must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP; pricing is submitted on a per-test basis with no additional surcharges permitted beyond freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing costs. The evaluation weights vendor understanding and qualifications at 55 points combined, client references at 15 points, and cost at 30 points, with optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews worth up to an additional 30 points. Geographic activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas based on the single recent opportunity in the source; broader geographic spread and issuing-body patterns are not evident from available recent solicitations.
