UNSPSC 51171724 Loperamide hydrochloride is a Commodity code that represents pharmaceutical products; however, recent state and local solicitation activity under this code does not reflect purchases of the pharmaceutical itself. Instead, Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, which encompasses immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing methodologies, electronic result reporting, and Interactive Voice Response system operation for randomized testing notifications. The scope includes staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney operating Monday through Friday plus five Saturdays annually, with annual testing volume of approximately 25,031 tests comprising five-panel screens, six-panel screens, and ancillary testing. The successful vendor must hold lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP. This solicitation reflects a mismatch between the nominal pharmaceutical code and the actual procurement activity — the code designation does not align with the service scope being bought.

Collin County, Texas is the issuing body on record with this RFP, posted September 25, 2026, with proposals due July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The estimated contract value is $600,000 over a two-year term commencing September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewal periods not to exceed five years total. Pricing is structured on a per-test basis with three service models: screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives, with all costs including freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing incorporated into the per-test rate. The county reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors. Evaluation criteria weight vendor understanding and cost equally at 30 points each, with firm qualifications (25 points) and client references (15 points); optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews are worth up to 30 points. Funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations, subject to annual availability, with anticipated award on August 10, 2026.
