UNSPSC 51173220: Carboxymethylcellulose/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 51173220 Carboxymethylcellulose/docusate is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The single recent opportunity—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—concerns laboratory testing infrastructure, staffing, and analytical methodologies for criminal justice supervision, not pharmaceutical or chemical products. The solicitation requires immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing capabilities, lab certification from SAMHSA or CAP, and electronic result reporting—none of which relate to carboxymethylcellulose or docusate as pharmaceutical or chemical commodities. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is not actively solicited for its nominal product scope in the recent state and local market.

The source provides no additional recent opportunities under this code in other jurisdictions or states. Without representative procurement activity that aligns with the code's actual commodity definition, no meaningful characterization of issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or market activity is supportable from the available data. Business development professionals should verify whether this code reflects active state and local procurement demand before investing pursuit resources.
