UNSPSC 51173219: Carboxymethylcellulose/casanthranol/docusate

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 GA209. This VA Drug Class (GA209) classifies this compound as belonging to the group LAXATIVES, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51173219 Carboxymethylcellulose/casanthranol/docusate is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—pharmaceutical laxative agents—does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The single recent opportunity in the dataset is Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, which concerns laboratory testing infrastructure, staffing, and immunoassay screening protocols rather than finished-goods pharmaceuticals. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for suppliers of carboxymethylcellulose or combination laxative formulations.

The Collin County RFP, posted September 25, 2026 with proposals due July 23, 2026, describes a contract valued at approximately $600,000 over two years (with up to three optional one-year renewals) to operate two drug-testing collection sites in Plano and McKinney and conduct specimen analysis including five-panel and six-panel immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation. The county may award the RFP in whole or in part to multiple vendors, with evaluation scoring based on vendor understanding (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), client references (15 points), and cost (30 points), with optional Phase 2 demonstrations worth up to 30 points. Pricing is submitted per-test basis with three service models, and the successful vendor must hold SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP lab certification. Because the single opportunity on record addresses drug testing rather than pharmaceutical procurement, this code does not reflect active state and local buying for products within its nominal commodity classification.
