UNSPSC 51151676: Butylscopolamine/metamizole sodium (dipyrone)

Combination of butyl scopolamine, spasmolytic in the smooth muscle of gastrointestinal, biliary and genitourinary tracts, without anticholinergic effects in CNS, with metamizole, a non-acidic, non-narcotic analgesic pyrazolone with analgesic, antipyretic and spasmolytic effects.

UNSPSC 51151676 Butylscopolamine/Metamizole Sodium (Dipyrone) is a Commodity code with minimal alignment between its pharmaceutical substance name and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific pharmaceutical compound used for pain and fever management, yet the solicitations tagged to this code span emergency medical services software (drug-dosage calculation and EMS protocol integration), long-term care pharmacy services, pharmaceutical benefits administration, forensic drug reference standards, and opioid-settlement grant funding—none of which directly procure butylscopolamine/metamizole sodium itself. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all for pharmacy-related services rather than as a line-item pharmaceutical procurement code.

The recent activity spans diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Collier County, Dane County, Seminole County, Pinellas County, Bernalillo County, and Washington County), municipalities (City of Palm Bay, City of Tucson, City of Owensboro), a regional mental health organization (West Texas Centers), and the District of Columbia. Geographic spread is broad, with solicitations from Florida (Collier, Seminole, Pinellas, Marion, Palm Bay), Wisconsin (Dane), Oregon (Washington), Kentucky (Owensboro), Texas (West Texas Centers, Tucson, Bernalillo), and the District of Columbia. Representative opportunities include Dane County's RFP for pharmaceutical services to Badger Prairie Health Care Center (proposals due October 22, 2026, emphasizing daily medication delivery and barcode scanning integration), the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals and VendNovation vending-machine software (proposals due June 24, 2026, federally funded through ARPA and HUD), and West Texas Centers' RFP for prescription and pharmacy services across 35 service sites in 23 counties (proposals due August 21, 2026). The code shows no current procurement activity directly tied to the substance named in the UNSPSC definition; state and local governments soliciting under this code are buying operational pharmacy services, software integration, and supply-chain management, not the pharmaceutical ingredient itself.
