UNSPSC 51173206 Bisacodyl/castor oil is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not reflect purchasing of the pharmaceutical products its abstract name suggests. Instead, Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department has tagged a drug testing and offender specimen collection services RFP under this code — a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The single recent opportunity on record shows no purchasing of bisacodyl or castor oil products. The code exhibits little relevant recent activity aligned to its pharmaceutical classification.
