UNSPSC 51172600: Combination antiemetics

This classification denotes combination drugs that prevent nausea or vomiting, ANTIEMETICS act by a wide range of mechanisms: some act on the medullary control centers (the vomiting center and the chemoreceptive trigger zone) while others affect the peripheral receptors. Typical antiemetic constituents are dextrose and fructose.

UNSPSC 51172600 Combination antiemetics is a Class code that describes pharmaceutical products used to prevent or treat nausea and vomiting, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect pharmaceutical purchasing. The single recent opportunity in the dataset — Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services — involves laboratory testing infrastructure, staffing, and analytical services for criminal justice supervision, not antiemetic medications or any pharmaceutical procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source or minimal recent state and local demand for combination antiemetic products under this specific code.

No representative pharmaceutical opportunities under UNSPSC 51172600 are present in the recent data. The Collin County drug testing RFP, due July 23, 2026 with an estimated contract value of $600,000, falls outside the therapeutic scope of antiemetic drugs and does not represent a meaningful signal for vendors positioned to supply combination antiemetic medications to state and local health systems, correctional facilities, or other public agencies. Practitioners tracking this code should monitor for future opportunities in state pharmacy cooperative purchasing vehicles, correctional health-services RFPs, or public hospital system solicitations where antiemetic medications are an explicit line item, as the current activity does not support procurement intent under the stated code.
