UNSPSC 51171649: Lactitol dihydrate

This classification denotes an artificial sweetener with the molecular formula C12H24O11.2H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 1F5S85F60B, chemically known as d-glucitol, 4-o-.beta.-d-galactopyranosyl-, dihydrate, but more generally known as lactitol dihydrate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 157354. European Medicines Agency schedules lactitol dihydrate or its base in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08385MIG.

Most nations, for tariff purposes, schedule lactitol dihydrate under HS 29400000. SMILES: C([C@@H]1[C@@H]([C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H](O1)O[C@H]([C@@H](CO)O)[C@@H]([C@H](CO)O)O)O)O)O)O.O.O.

UNSPSC 51171649 Lactitol dihydrate is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The single recent opportunity on file — Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services — solicits laboratory testing, specimen handling, staffing, and result reporting for criminal justice offender monitoring. This work involves immunoassay screening, LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmatory testing, oral fluid and hair testing modalities, and Interactive Voice Response systems for randomized notifications. Lactitol dihydrate is a pharmaceutical excipient and laxative active ingredient unrelated to drug testing logistics, laboratory certification, or specimen collection infrastructure. The code appears to be a data-entry error or system-generated misclassification rather than a meaningful procurement category for this class of work.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought makes this code a poor targeting vehicle for business development in state and local drug testing services procurement. A vendor pursuing offender drug testing contracts should search under codes aligned with laboratory testing services, specimen collection, or criminal justice supervision services instead. No pattern of relevant recent activity exists under this code to support pursuit.
