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 that in practice sees minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve artemether/lumefantrine—an antimalarial pharmaceutical—but instead cover unrelated categories: naloxone and drug deactivation systems for emergency response, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, general medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through cooperative purchasing. The code's nominal scope does not reflect what state and local buyers are actually procuring under this designation, suggesting either a cataloging misalignment or minimal authentic activity in artemether/lumefantrine procurement at the state and local level.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Florida (Seminole County), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission), Minnesota (MMCAP cooperative purchasing serving multiple states including Oregon), and the City of Tampa. The representative solicitations include Seminole County's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (1,900 units of naloxone and 800 deactivation units annually, due July 26, 2023), the Texas HHS Commission's RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescriptions (response deadline April 3, 2026), the City of Tampa's IFB for medical and first aid supplies to the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract value of $700,000 (due March 13, 2026, with SLBE set-asides), and Minnesota MMCAP's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (due March 26, 2026). None of these opportunities involve artemether/lumefantrine procurement. This code shows no relevant recent state and local activity in its actual commodity scope.
