UNSPSC 51172432: Belladonna/kaolin/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 51172432 Belladonna/kaolin/pectin is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve offender drug testing services (Collin County, Texas), a pharmacy benefit program market intelligence initiative (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a cooperative purchasing contract for generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations involve the active pharmaceutical ingredients or formulations named in the code; the tagging appears to reflect incidental compliance or reference use rather than primary procurement of belladonna, kaolin, or pectin products.

State and local governments do solicit pharmaceuticals and related products under other UNSPSC codes, as evidenced by the MMCAP RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, and the Texas HHS RFI (HHS0017013, issued April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. However, neither procurement targets the specific therapeutic agents this Commodity code names. Business development teams should verify their product classification against the relevant UNSPSC family for pharmaceutical distribution, manufacturing, or active pharmaceutical ingredients rather than relying on this code's recent activity.
