UNSPSC 51173216 Calcium pantothenate/danthron is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices use to classify pharmaceutical and chemical compounds, but the recent activity under this code reflects a significant mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurement demand. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted an RFP in September 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—a forensic and clinical laboratory operation—which has been tagged under this code despite involving no calcium pantothenate or danthron procurement. The county is seeking a qualified vendor to staff two collection sites in the Plano and McKinney areas, operate randomized testing notification systems, and perform immunoassay screening with confirmatory analysis (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS) across approximately 25,031 annual tests, with lab certification from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP required.

The available record shows only one recent state or local opportunity under this code. Collin County, a Texas jurisdiction, issued RFP 2026-327 with a proposal due date of July 23, 2026, an estimated contract value of $600,000, and a two-year initial term commencing September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewals. The county may award the contract in whole or in part to multiple vendors and will evaluate proposals on vendor understanding (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), client references (15 points), cost (30 points), and optional demonstrations and interviews (up to 30 points). Pricing is submitted on a per-test basis across three service models, and the anticipated award date is August 10, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity beyond this single Collin County solicitation and does not reflect active pharmaceutical or chemical distribution procurement at the state and local level.
