UNSPSC 51173227 Docusate/phenolphthalein is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical products used in drug-testing and specimen-collection workflows. State and local governments buy this code primarily as part of broader offender drug-testing and specimen-collection service contracts executed by community supervision departments, corrections agencies, and criminal justice authorities. The work involves acquisition of testing supplies, reagents, and related consumables used in immunoassay screening and confirmation testing (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS methodologies), alternative specimen collection media including oral fluid and hair testing supplies, and ancillary testing materials. Issuing bodies include county community supervision and corrections departments and regional criminal justice agencies that manage offender testing compliance and monitoring programs. The Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's recent RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services (RFP 2026-327, due July 23, 2026) exemplifies the scope: the county is soliciting end-to-end testing services including staffing, lab operations, electronic result reporting, and the consumable materials and testing supplies embedded within those services.

Collin County, Texas is the primary recent buyer identified under this code. The Collin County RFP (estimated contract value $600,000, two-year term commencing September 1, 2026 with up to three optional one-year renewals) calls for approximately 25,031 tests annually across five-panel, six-panel, and ancillary screening with confirmation testing at two collection sites in Plano and McKinney. Vendors must maintain SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP lab certification and submit pricing on a per-test basis across three service models: screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives. The county anticipates award by August 10, 2026, with funding from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division. The source shows limited recent activity under this specific commodity code; procurement of docusate/phenolphthalein and related testing consumables appears embedded within broader service contracts rather than solicited as standalone supply purchases.
