UNSPSC 51111842 Degarelix is a Commodity code for a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist pharmaceutical used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. State and local governments procure degarelix primarily through their Medicaid programs, corrections departments, and public health agencies to serve eligible patient populations — particularly incarcerated individuals and low-income beneficiaries. The drug is supplied as a subcutaneous injection and is typically purchased via cooperative purchasing agreements, group purchasing organization (GPO) contracts, or direct state health department procurement. Issuing bodies include state Medicaid agencies, state departments of corrections, county jail systems, and public health authorities that operate clinics or dispensary operations.

The source provided contains no recent posted state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without access to recent solicitations, issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices cannot be characterized from the available data. Degarelix procurement activity at the state and local level may follow established pharmaceutical supply contracts negotiated at the GPO or state health plan level rather than generate discrete standalone solicitations; verification of current market activity would require direct review of active state Medicaid tender documents, cooperative purchasing catalogs, or corrections department supply schedules.
