UNSPSC 51103000: Combination pediculicides

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that kill lice or pediculus humanus capitus, hence the term PEDICULICIDES. Typical combination pediculicide constituents are piperonyl butoxide and pyrethrins.

UNSPSC 51103000 Combination pediculicides is a Class code, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect actual lice-treatment procurement—instead, the code shows marked misalignment with buying activity, spanning naloxone and drug deactivation systems, pharmacy benefit direct-contracting, emergency medical supplies, and generic pharmaceuticals. The actual purchasing pattern under this code reflects a broad range of health and pharmaceutical procurement rather than the narrowly defined pediculicide scope the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Seminole County), Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with issuing bodies including county health departments, state health and human services agencies, cooperative purchasing alliances, and municipal fire departments. Recent opportunities include Seminole County's IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs (posted April 3, 2026); the City of Tampa's IFB for 169 line items of emergency medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 (due March 13, 2026, sheltered for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount); and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local government facilities (due March 26, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; procurement professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities, as the tagging mismatch suggests either data classification errors or a code misconfiguration in the underlying procurement systems.
