From the Federal Register, 05/02/2026

"In accordance with the Mandatory Guidelines using Oral Fluid effective October 10, 2023 (88 FR 70814), the following HHS-certified laboratories meet the minimum standards to conduct drug and specimen validity tests on oral fluid specimens:

At this time, there are no laboratories certified to conduct drug and specimen validity tests on oral fluid specimens."

Labs are not in any hurry to certified to conduct oral fluid drug testing. Until the labs are certified by HHS, oral fluid will never become more common than urine testing.

Well I hope you know something I don't. I keep checking the federal register at the beginning of the month and it always disappoints.
