UNSPSC 51172448 Bismuth subsalicylate/magnesium silicate/salicylic acid/sodium s is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The sole recent opportunity tagged under this code—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—concerns laboratory testing infrastructure, staffing, and chain-of-custody protocols rather than pharmaceutical or antacid products. The solicitation calls for two physical collection sites operating standard business hours plus limited weekend access, an Interactive Voice Response system for randomized test notification, immunoassay screening with confirmatory testing via LC/MS/MS or GC/MS, and electronic result reporting. Alternative methodologies including oral fluid and hair testing are in scope. The contractor must hold SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP lab certification.

Collin County is the sole issuing body represented in recent activity under this code. The RFP, posted September 25, 2026 with a response deadline of July 23, 2026 (an apparent date conflict in the source), carries an estimated contract value of $600,000 over an initial two-year term commencing September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewals capped at five years total. Pricing must be submitted per test across three service models—screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives—with all costs including freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing built in. Award is anticipated August 10, 2026 to the responsible contractor offering the best evaluated proposal balancing qualifications (understanding, firm qualifications, and references) and cost. Funding flows from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations, subject to annual availability. The code shows no other recent state or local opportunities; the mismatch between the nominal code scope and the testing-services procurement suggests this code has limited procurement activity within state and local government.
