UNSPSC 51173226: Dehydrocholic acid/docusate/phenolphthalein

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 51173226 Dehydrocholic acid/docusate/phenolphthalein is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The single recent opportunity on record—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—is soliciting laboratory testing infrastructure, staffing, immunoassay screening, and confirmatory analysis (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS) for drug testing of offenders under community supervision, not pharmaceutical products or laxative agents. The scope includes operation of collection sites in Plano and McKinney, electronic result reporting, and optional oral fluid and hair testing methodologies, with annual demand of approximately 25,031 tests across five-panel, six-panel, and ancillary testing formats.

The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical name and the actual work being procured suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local markets, or that the tagging reflects a classification error in the source system. Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department is the sole issuing body identified in the recent record. The Collin County RFP, posted September 25, 2026, with proposals due July 23, 2026, names an estimated contract value of $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewals (not to exceed five years total), commencing September 1, 2026, with an anticipated award date of August 10, 2026. Vendors must hold 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.
