UNSPSC 51172327 Sodium lactate is a Commodity code that, in recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with actual purchasing. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services on September 25, 2026, with a response deadline of July 23, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $600,000. The scope encompasses staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney during regular business hours plus five Saturdays annually, operating an Interactive Voice Response system for randomized testing notifications, conducting immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, providing electronic result reporting, and offering alternative testing methodologies including oral fluid and hair testing. The vendor must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP. Pricing is structured on a per-test basis across three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives), and all costs including freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing must be included with no additional surcharges. The contract term runs two years from September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewal periods not to exceed five years total, and price redetermination requests are limited to September 1 anniversaries with increases capped at 3.0 percent annually based on medical Consumer Price Index adjustments.

The source shows a single recent opportunity and no other issuing bodies or geographic spread relevant to the code's nominal scope. Collin County anticipates awarding to the responsible contractor whose proposal represents the best evaluated offer; evaluation comprises compliance review and Phase 1 detailed proposal assessment (vendor understanding at 30 points, firm qualifications at 25 points, client references at 15 points, and cost at 30 points), with optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews worth up to 30 points. The anticipated award date is August 10, 2026, and funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations, subject to annual availability. The code's nominal designation as sodium lactate—a pharmaceutical ingredient—bears no relation to criminal justice drug testing services; the mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state or local system or a tagging anomaly that may obscure relevant activity elsewhere in the UNSPSC hierarchy.
