UNSPSC 51162600: Antitussives and associated cough remedies

This classification denotes substances that suppess cough, sbstances called Antitussives, thus the term ANTITUSSIVES AND ASSOCIATED COUGH REMEDIES.

UNSPSC 51162600 Antitussives and associated cough remedies is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a much broader scope than its nominal title suggests. The Washington State Department of Corrections' parenteral-products solicitation (RFQQK13020) and Seminole County, Florida's naloxone and drug-deactivation systems procurement (IFB60459723LAS) show the code being tagged for pharmaceutical supplies and medical products with limited connection to cough remedies per se. The Washington DOC opportunity solicits intravenous solutions, parenteral nutrition (TPN and PPN), and related pharmaceutical services delivered to eight correctional facilities, with strict same-day or next-day delivery windows and demonstrated experience in PN preparation and patient monitoring. The Seminole County opportunity seeks bulk naloxone units and drug deactivation systems for community health delivery on a quarterly basis. Both procurements span health and corrections agencies managing pharmaceutical inventory and distribution rather than primary-care cough-remedy sales.

Issuing bodies include state correctional departments and county health agencies. The geographic mix in recent activity spans Washington state and Florida. The Washington State Department of Corrections' RFQQK13020 is an RFQ due October 7, 2026, soliciting parenteral products for Stafford Creek, Washington Correction Center West, Clallam Bay, Monroe Complex, Washington Correction Center for Women, Airway Heights, Coyote Ridge, and Washington State Penitentiary, with DOC anticipating multiple awards (up to three per region) and a contract term running November 26, 2026 through June 30, 2030. Seminole County's IFB60459723LAS sought 1,900 annual naloxone units and 800 drug-deactivation systems with quarterly delivery to Sanford, Florida; the notice listed a response deadline of July 26, 2023, suggesting this opportunity has likely closed. Set-asides appear in the Washington DOC solicitation, which encourages small-business (25%), minority-owned (10%), women-owned (6%), and veteran-owned (5%) participation with an aspirational 5% Small and Diverse Business goal.
