UNSPSC 51173228 Docusate/sennosides is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement reflects acquisition of drug-testing services rather than the pharmaceutical products its code name nominally suggests. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's September 2026 RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing illustrates the practical scope: counties and other criminal-justice agencies are soliciting comprehensive testing infrastructure including staffed collection sites, screening and confirmation lab work (immunoassay with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation), alternative methodologies (oral fluid and hair testing), electronic reporting, and Interactive Voice Response notification systems. The vendor must hold SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP lab certification and operate within a per-test pricing model across three service tiers (screening only, confirmation after screening, or screening with automatic confirmation). Issuing bodies under this code appear limited to correctional-supervision and criminal-justice agencies requiring standardized offender testing.

Collin County in Texas represents the most recent documented activity. The RFP 2026-327, posted September 25, 2026 with proposals due July 23, 2026, seeks services for approximately 25,031 annual tests (5,452 five-panel screens and 18,006 six-panel screens plus ancillary work) across two collection sites in Plano and McKinney, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 over an initial two-year term commencing September 1, 2026, plus three optional one-year renewals. Evaluation weighting places 30 points each on vendor understanding and cost, 25 on firm qualifications, and 15 on client references, with optional Phase 2 demonstrations worth up to 30 additional points. No other recent state and local opportunities under this code are present in the source.
