UNSPSC 51172400: Combination antacid, antidiarrheal, anti-flatulence, digestive, and gastric preparations

This classification denotes combination drugs that consist of various combined preparations that are a) substances that counteract or neutralize acidity of the gastrointestinal tract, substances generally known as ANTACIDS; b) miscellaneous agents found useful in the symptomatic treatment of that condition which evinces outward symptom of an increased liquidity or decreased consistency of feces, such as running stool, a condition called Diarrhea, hence the term ANTIDIARRHEAL or ANTIDIARRHEALS; c) agents used to prevent the formation of foam or to treat bloat, or flatulence, hence the term ANTI-FLATULENCE PREPARATIONS or ANTI-FLATULENTS; d) preparations that treat dysfunction of that group of organs stretching from the mouth to the anus, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste, commonly called the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, hence the term DIGESTIVE PREPARATIONS; and/or e) preparations that operate to control gastric acidity, regulate gastrointestinal motility and water flow, and improve digestion in the gastrointestinal system, hence the term GASTRIC PREPARATIONS.

UNSPSC 51172400 Combination antacid, antidiarrheal, anti-flatulence, digestive, and gastric preparations is a Class code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its 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—concerns laboratory testing and chain-of-custody operations for criminal justice supervision, not pharmaceutical digestive or gastric products. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the county's RFP posting or a state-level misclassification in the opportunity aggregation source. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify classification accuracy before allocating resources to pursue similar opportunities, as the code's nominal scope does not reflect current buying activity in the available record.

No additional recent opportunities under UNSPSC 51172400 are present in the source material to establish geographic distribution, issuing-body patterns, or representative procurement volume for digestive and gastric pharmaceuticals in state and local contracting.
