UNSPSC 51171614: Bisacodyl

This classification denotes a laxative with the molecular formula C22H19NO4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 10X0709Y6I, chemically known as 4,4-diacetoxydiphenylpyridyl-2-methane but generally known as bisacodyl, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2391. Bisacodyl most often comes in base and tannex forms. European Medicines Agency schedules Bisacodyl in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05846MIG.

UNSPSC 51171614 Bisacodyl is a Commodity code for a specific pharmaceutical active ingredient, but state and local procurement under this code shows no recent activity aligned with the nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—is unrelated to bisacodyl procurement and reflects a tagging mismatch rather than genuine activity in pharmaceutical ingredient supply. The RFP solicits staffing, laboratory operations, immunoassay screening, confirmatory testing via LC/MS/MS or GC/MS, oral fluid and hair testing alternatives, and electronic result reporting for approximately 25,031 annual tests across two collection sites in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years plus three optional one-year renewals.

This code does not map to identifiable state and local demand for bisacodyl as a pharmaceutical product or ingredient. The Collin County opportunity, though posted under the code, addresses substance-abuse testing services rather than pharmaceutical procurement and does not represent a reliable signal for business development in bisacodyl supply. Geographic activity is limited to Texas based on the single record. Without additional recent opportunities correctly tagged to this Commodity code, the market for state and local bisacodyl procurement remains opaque, and pursuit of this code as a business development target is not supported by the available data.
