UNSPSC 51162010: Aminophylline/potassium iodide

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 RE109. This VA Drug Class (RE109) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIASTHMA, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51162010 Aminophylline/potassium iodide is a Commodity code whose actual recent state and local procurement activity bears minimal relation to its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under this code in the source—a naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement from Seminole County, Florida, and an on-site pharmacy services contract from Hall County, Georgia—do not involve aminophylline or potassium iodide products. Instead, the code appears to be receiving misclassified tagging in state and local systems, with issuing bodies using it to describe emergency medical supplies, opioid-reversal agents, and comprehensive pharmacy service contracts. The actual goods and services being solicited are naloxone units (opioid antagonist), drug deactivation systems, and full-service pharmacy dispensing and management across multiple therapeutic categories—none of which align with the code's intended pharmaceutical scope.

Soliciting activity comes from county health departments and county government employee health plans rather than the traditional pharmaceutical supply or medical-equipment procurement channels one might expect under aminophylline/potassium iodide coding. Seminole County's IFB (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeks 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to a county health building, while Hall County's RFQ/P #47-010 (posted May 4, 2026, due June 4, 2026) seeks an on-site pharmacy services provider to serve approximately 3,005 eligible individuals enrolled in the county's group health insurance plans. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement suggests that state procurement systems may be using this Commodity code as a catch-all for pharmaceutical and emergency-response-related purchases rather than restricting it to its intended product line. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this code, as genuine aminophylline and potassium iodide demand may be obscured by systematic misclassification in these two counties.
