UNSPSC 51172325 Pentetic acid is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers offender specimen collection and drug testing services—a functional mismatch between the code's nominal chemical scope and the work being solicited. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department is the issuing body in the recent opportunity record, signaling that corrections departments and probation agencies are the primary state and local buyers under this code's actual procurement use. The work encompasses staffing collection sites, operating randomized testing notification systems, performing immunoassay screening with confirmatory testing via LC/MS/MS or GC/MS, and offering alternative matrices including oral fluid and hair analysis. Lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP is required. Pricing is submitted on a per-test basis across three service models—screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives—with no additional surcharges allowed and annual price redetermination capped at 3.0 percent increases tied to medical Consumer Price Index.

Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted RFP 2026-327 on September 25, 2026, with a response deadline of July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., seeking to staff two collection sites in Plano and McKinney with approximately 25,031 annual tests (5,452 five-panel and 18,006 six-panel screens plus ancillary testing). The estimated contract value is $600,000 for a two-year initial term commencing September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewals not to exceed five years total.

The county reserves the right to award in whole or in part to multiple vendors, with anticipated award on August 10, 2026, funded through Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations.
