UNSPSC 51172319 Cysteamine or mercaptamine is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity centers on drug-screening services rather than the chemical itself. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, a county criminal-justice agency in Texas, posted RFP 2026-327 in September 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, a contract valued at approximately $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewals. The scope encompasses staffing two collection sites (Plano and McKinney, Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. plus five Saturday half-days annually), operating a randomized testing notification system, performing immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, and offering alternative methodologies including oral fluid and hair testing. Annual demand approximates 25,031 tests across five- and six-panel screens and ancillary testing. The successful vendor must hold lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP and submit pricing on a per-test basis across three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, or automatic confirmation of positives), with all costs including staffing, freight, delivery, and insurance and no additional surcharges permitted.

The code shows limited recent activity, with the Collin County opportunity representing the sole identified state and local procurement record. The RFP uses a two-phase evaluation process scoring 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 points; the county reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors. Funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice appropriations subject to annual availability. The anticipated award date is August 10, 2026, though the due date listed (July 23, 2026) appears inconsistent with the September 2026 posting date, suggesting possible RFP timing or amendment history not fully clarified in the source.
