UNSPSC 51162013: Butabarbital/ephedrine/guaifenesin/theophylline

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 51162013 Butabarbital/ephedrine/guaifenesin/theophylline (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitation activity for the specific pharmaceutical combination named. Instead, Seminole County, Florida and Hall County, Georgia are soliciting naloxone, safe drug deactivation systems, and on-site pharmacy services; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) are issuing market intelligence and generic pharmaceutical contracting vehicles. None of these opportunities target the compound bronchodilator-decongestant formulation the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this Commodity code sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (due July 26, 2023) sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly delivery to its Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida; Hall County issued RFQ/P #47-010 (due June 4, 2026) to procure on-site pharmacy services at its Family Health Center Clinic in Gainesville, Georgia for approximately 3,005 enrolled individuals. The Texas HHS Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) gathered market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager arrangements. MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 (due March 26, 2026) established multiple-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products sourced through three authorized wholesalers for distribution across state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. Issuing bodies include county health departments, state health agencies, and cooperative purchasing consortia. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and the Upper Midwest, though the code's nominal scope does not match the actual procurements currently listed.
