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 GA900. This VA Drug Class (GA900) classifies this compound as belonging to the group GASTRIC MEDICATIONS, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51172436 Benzocaine/calcium carbonate/magnesium carbonate/phenobarbital is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not correspond to the purchase of the pharmaceutical compounds named in the code. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services — involves drug testing methodologies (immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing) rather than procurement of the specific pharmaceutical products the code nominally describes. The scope includes staffing collection sites, operating an Interactive Voice Response system for randomized test notifications, and electronic result reporting, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 over a two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals.

The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical focus and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Collin County, a Texas jurisdiction, is the only recent buyer on record under this code. The RFP issued by Collin County's Community Supervision and Corrections Department is due July 23, 2026, with an anticipated award date of August 10, 2026. The county is seeking a single or multiple vendors capable of supporting approximately 25,031 annual tests across five-panel and six-panel screening methodologies, with pricing submitted on a per-test basis and vendors required to maintain SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP laboratory certification. The scope is limited to two collection sites in Plano and McKinney, Texas, operating Monday through Friday with five Saturdays annually.
