UNSPSC 51171709: Saccharomyces boulardii

This classification denotes a natural antidiarrheal agent.

UNSPSC 51171709 Saccharomyces boulardii, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The three recent opportunities in the source—offender drug testing services, a pharmacy benefit management information request, and a cooperative purchasing agreement for generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products—involve specimen collection, pharmaceutical sourcing, and prescription fulfillment logistics, not the probiotic yeast strain the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement databases or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended scope and how issuing bodies are using it in practice.

The geographic activity centers on Texas and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing mechanisms. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (Texas) posted an RFP on July 9, 2026, for offender specimen collection and drug testing services with a response deadline of July 23, 2026, seeking staffing for two collection sites and lab services under a two-year term with three optional one-year renewals, estimated at $600,000 annually. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a market-intelligence RFI in late March 2026 on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs with no formal competitive timeline. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) posted an RFP on January 20, 2026, for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers with a March 26, 2026, response deadline. The code shows no recent activity that directly relates to Saccharomyces boulardii procurement, making it difficult to assess genuine demand or opportunity concentration under the nominal commodity classification.
