UNSPSC 51102901: Artemether/lumefantrine

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class AP101. This VA Drug Class (AP101) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIMALARIALS.

UNSPSC 51102901 Artemether/lumefantrine is a Commodity code for antimalarial pharmaceutical products, though the recent state and local opportunities on record do not reflect procurement activity for artemether/lumefantrine itself. Instead, the posted solicitations under this code classify products unrelated to the nominal commodity — a completed Illinois Department of Public Health pharmaceutical warehouse award for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride (antibiotics), and a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems (emergency response and harm-reduction products). State and local health departments and public health authorities appear to be the primary issuing bodies using this code, though the actual procurement scope does not align with antimalarial drugs. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the solicitation database or a broad catch-all use of the code for general pharmaceutical acquisitions across disease categories.

The two most recent opportunities show activity in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, via IFB, for antibiotic supply with an initial 12-month term and two one-year renewal options. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option. Neither opportunity specifically targets antimalarial pharmaceuticals. Firms pursuing this code should confirm whether their antimalarial products are appropriate to the UNSPSC classification or whether procurement demand is best tracked under different commodity codes.
