UNSPSC 51162334: Aspirin/phenypropanolamine

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 RE599. This VA Drug Class (RE599) classifies this compound as belonging to the group COLD REMEDIES, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51162334 Aspirin/phenypropanolamine, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The two most recent solicitations involve parenteral nutrition solutions and intravenous products (Washington State Department of Corrections) and naloxone with drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida) — neither of which fall within the aspirin and phenypropanolamine product category the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement records or a significant divergence between the code's formal scope and actual purchasing practice under this Commodity designation.

No recent state and local contract opportunities show purchases of aspirin or phenypropanolamine formulations. The code appears dormant for substantive procurement activity in the state and local market, or procurement offices are systematically miscoding pharmaceutical and medical-supply solicitations outside the intended taxonomy. Without evidence of genuine aspirin or phenypropanolamine sourcing activity, this code does not warrant pursuit at this time.
