UNSPSC 51171608: Glycerine

This classification denotes a laxative with the molecular formula C3H8O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier PDC6A3C0OX, chemically known as 1,2,3-trihydroxypropanol but generally known as glycerine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 753. European Medicines Agency schedules Glycerine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB22395. SMILES: OC(CO)CO.

UNSPSC 51171608 Glycerine, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities—a Collin County offender drug testing program, a Texas HHS pharmacy initiative RFI, and a Minnesota multistate cooperative purchasing agreement for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products—involve pharmaceutical testing services, prescription fulfillment logistics, and wholesale pharmaceutical distribution. None of these procurements explicitly call for glycerine as a product input or primary deliverable. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscategorization in the state and local procurement systems or that glycerine appears as an ancillary ingredient in pharmaceutical formulations rather than as a standalone procurement line item under this code.

Without solicitations that directly target glycerine supply, distribution, or application work, the code does not surface actionable bid opportunities or a clear issuing-body or geographic concentration pattern relevant to glycerine vendors. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether their glycerine or glycerin-derivative products fit into pharmaceutical manufacturing, testing reagent, or formulation support roles within the broader pharmaceutical and healthcare procurement landscape that these three solicitations represent, or treat this code as inactive for direct glycerine procurement in state and local markets as of mid-2026.
