UNSPSC 51162036: Potassium iodide/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 51162036 Potassium iodide/theophylline is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it involve naloxone distribution and on-site pharmacy services — neither of which align with the code's stated pharmaceutical ingredients. Seminole County, Florida solicited an IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually), and Hall County, Georgia issued an RFQ/P for on-site pharmacy services at the Hall County Government Family Health Center Clinic to serve approximately 3,005 eligible employees, retirees, and dependents enrolled in the county's group health insurance plans. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being purchased suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, or opportunities are being misclassified at the source.

The two opportunities originate from different issuing bodies — a Florida county health initiative and a Georgia county government employer health benefit — with distinct procurement structures. Seminole County's July 2023 IFB sought quarterly deliveries with a two-year term plus one-year renewal option and included FEMA compliance requirements. Hall County's June 2026 RFQ/P offered an initial one-year term beginning January 1, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals, weighted technical qualifications at 80% and cost at 20%, and required vendors to stock and dispense a formulary of 25 medications. Neither opportunity specified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Georgia based on recent postings; without additional opportunities demonstrating alignment between the code's actual scope and state and local buying patterns, this code does not present a clear procurement category for business development targeting.
