UNSPSC 51172305 Protamine sulfate is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, does not align with purchases of the pharmaceutical agent itself. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—solicits laboratory testing, specimen handling, immunoassay screening, LC/MS/MS and GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair analysis, and Interactive Voice Response systems 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 demand of approximately 25,031 tests across five-panel, six-panel, and ancillary testing methodologies. The successful vendor must hold lab certification from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP and maintain compliance with all Texas drug-testing standards. This represents a mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a heparin antagonist pharmaceutical) and the work actually being solicited, suggesting the code shows little relevant recent activity for protamine sulfate procurement by state and local governments.

The opportunity is localized to Collin County, Texas, with no broader geographic activity evident in the source. Collin County's RFP 2026-327, issued as an RFP with an initial response deadline of July 23, 2026, carries an estimated contract value of $600,000 over a two-year base term commencing September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewals not to exceed five years total. Pricing is submitted on a per-test basis under three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, or screening with automatic confirmation of positives), with all costs including freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing built into the per-test price and no additional surcharges permitted. Award was anticipated August 10, 2026, based on compliance review and detailed proposal scoring across vendor understanding, firm qualifications, client references, and cost, with optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews available for up to 30 additional points.
