UNSPSC 51172421: Belladonna/kaolin/opium/pectin

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class GA208. This VA Drug Class (GA208) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIDIARRHEAL AGENTS.

UNSPSC 51172421 Belladonna/kaolin/opium/pectin is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity recently tagged with it. The three recent opportunities identified in the source relate to drug testing services, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy procurement, and generic pharmaceutical distribution through cooperative purchasing—none of which involve the active pharmaceutical ingredients or compounding preparations the code nominally describes. The mismatch appears to be a classification error rather than evidence of legitimate state or local procurement demand under this code.

The recent opportunities do reflect broader state and local purchasing of pharmaceutical services and products through various issuing bodies: Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department in Texas is soliciting offender drug testing services under RFP 2026-327 (due July 23, 2026, estimated contract value $600,000); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an exploratory RFI (HHS0017013) to gather vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. These solicitations reveal demand for pharmaceutical testing, pharmacy benefit management innovation, and generic drug procurement but bear no substantive connection to UNSPSC 51172421 as coded. No recent state or local opportunities reflect actual procurement of belladonna, kaolin, opium, or pectin formulations.
