UNSPSC 51171702: Loperamide

This classification denotes an opioid and antidiarrheal agent with the molecular formula C29H33ClN2O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 6X9OC3H4II, chemically known as 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-n,n-dimethyl-alpha,alpha-diphenyl-4-hydroxy-1-piperidinebutanamide but generally known as loperamide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3955. European Medicines Agency schedules Loperamide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08572MIG.

UNSPSC 51171702 Loperamide is a Commodity code designating pharmaceutical anti-diarrheal agents, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's September 2026 RFP 2026-327 — the only recent opportunity tagged to this code — solicits offender specimen collection and drug testing services, encompassing immunoassay screening, LC/MS/MS and GC/MS confirmation testing, oral fluid and hair testing methodologies, and Interactive Voice Response notification systems. The work involves staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney and delivering approximately 25,031 tests annually across five-panel and six-panel screening formats, with lab certification required from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP. This represents criminal justice agency procurement of clinical laboratory and field collection services rather than pharmaceutical supply. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the original tagging or a misclassification within Collin County's internal taxonomy.

The code shows no material recent activity in pharmaceutical procurement aligned with its Commodity classification. The single recorded opportunity in Texas under this code is operationally unrelated to loperamide supply. State and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 51171702 does not currently warrant pursuit based on recent solicitation data. Firms in pharmaceutical distribution or clinical laboratory services may encounter this code in broader family-level or class-level searches, but the Commodity-level classification itself does not reflect active state or local buying patterns for the product it nominally describes.
