UNSPSC 51103002: Piperonyl butoxide/pyrethrins

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 AP300. This VA Drug Class (AP300) classifies this compound as belonging to the group PEDICULICIDES.

UNSPSC 51103002 Piperonyl butoxide/pyrethrins is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a class of pesticide active ingredients, yet the most recent opportunities tagged to it center on pharmaceutical products, naloxone distribution, medical and first aid supplies, and prescription fulfillment programs—categories unrelated to pesticide formulations or applications. State and local governments do procure pesticides and related chemical products through other UNSPSC classifications, but this code shows little relevant recent activity in that domain based on the available solicitation record.

The four recent opportunities posted under this code reflect health and human services purchasing rather than pest-control or agricultural inputs. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS, response due July 26, 2023) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission released an RFI (HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026) on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs; the City of Tampa issued an IFB (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) for medical and first aid supplies supporting the Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a small-local-business-enterprise set-aside; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) posted an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-integration error. Vendors pursuing pest-control or pesticide-related opportunities should confirm the correct UNSPSC coding before responding to solicitations under this designation.
