About UNSPSC 51173210

UNSPSC 51173210 Bisacodyl/magnesium citrate/magnesium sulfate/senna/sucrose is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the available record. The only recent opportunity tagged under this code is Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, which solicits laboratory testing, staffing, specimen handling, and immunoassay screening — not laxative pharmaceuticals or gastrointestinal therapeutic products. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a narrow historical context that has not carried forward into current procurement patterns.

No recent opportunities directly soliciting the products named in the code (bisacodyl, magnesium citrate, magnesium sulfate, senna, or sucrose-based preparations) appear in the available source material. Without representative solicitations for laxative or bowel-preparation products from state health departments, correctional facilities, school districts, or other state and local entities, no reliable characterization of geographic spread, issuing-body mix, or current buying patterns can be drawn. This code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement space as reflected in the data provided.
