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 that in practice covers pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets—antibiotics rather than pediculicides—under an Invitation for Bid process with a 12-month initial term and two one-year renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, supporting community health initiatives with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building; this procurement also falls outside the pediculicide classification.

The code shows recent activity centered in Illinois and Florida, with issuing bodies limited to state health departments and county health authorities in the opportunities block. No other states or jurisdictions appear in the recent records. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (combination pediculicides) and the actual work being solicited (antibiotic tablets and opioid-reversal systems) suggests either misclassification in the source data or that state and local health agencies tag broader pharmaceutical procurement under this code. Bidders should verify code-to-scope alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged with 51103000, as the recent record does not show consistent pediculicide procurement.
