UNSPSC 51172710: Hyoscyamine/methenamine

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 GU209. This VA Drug Class (GU209) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTISPASMODICS, URINARY, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51172710 Hyoscyamine/methenamine is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under it. Recent solicitation activity shows no procurement of the pharmaceutical compound itself; instead, the code has been applied to drug testing and specimen collection services for criminal justice applications. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department in Texas issued RFP 2026-327 in September 2026 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, with an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years. The scope includes staffing two collection sites (Plano and McKinney), operating an Interactive Voice Response system for randomized testing notifications, performing immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, electronic result reporting, and alternative testing methodologies including oral fluid and hair analysis. Testing demand runs approximately 25,031 tests annually across five-panel and six-panel screens plus ancillary testing. Vendors must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP and submit pricing on a per-test basis across three service models: screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives.

The code shows minimal recent activity and a significant semantic mismatch between its pharmaceutical name and the actual procurement category it is currently tagged with. Collin County, a Texas county government, represents the only named issuer in the recent opportunity block. The RFP 2026-327 response deadline was July 23, 2026 (a date that precedes the current date of October 20, 2026), and the anticipated award date was August 10, 2026. Evaluation criteria included vendor understanding (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), client references (15 points), cost (30 points), and optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews (up to 30 points). The contract term runs two years with three optional one-year renewal periods. Funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations, subject to annual availability. This code does not reliably signal pharmaceutical procurement; business development professionals should verify the actual commodity or service classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
