UNSPSC 51171700: Antidiarrheals

This classification denotes miscellaneous agents found useful in the symptomatic treatment of increased liquidity or decreased consistency of feces, such as running stool. i.e., diarrhea. they have no effect on the agent(s) that cause diarrhea, but merely alleviate the condition.

UNSPSC 51171700 Antidiarrheals is a Class code whose designation does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services — involves forensic laboratory operations, immunoassay screening, and alternative testing methodologies (oral fluid and hair testing), not pharmaceutical antidiarrheal products. The scope encompasses staffing collection sites, operating an Interactive Voice Response system for randomized testing notifications, and providing LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmatory analysis, with annual testing demand of approximately 25,031 tests across five-panel and six-panel screening protocols. This represents a fundamental mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical focus and the criminal-justice testing services actually being solicited.

Collin County, Texas, is the sole issuing body reflected in recent activity. The RFP was posted September 25, 2026, with proposals due July 23, 2026 (an apparent date error in the source), and carries an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewal periods. Vendors must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas Department of Public Safety, or CAP. Pricing is submitted on a per-test basis across three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives), with all costs including freight, delivery, insurance, and staffing built into per-test rates. The mismatch between code scope and actual procurement suggests this code shows no relevant recent activity for pharmaceutical antidiarrheal products at the state and local level.
