About UNSPSC 51182101
UNSPSC 51182101 Desmopressin, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of desmopressin — a synthetic antidiuretic hormone used to treat diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis, and hemophilia A — by state and local health systems, correctional facilities, and specialty clinics. The drug is procured through pharmacy purchasing cooperatives, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), and direct state health department contracts, typically as part of broader pharmaceutical formulary management and correctional health services. Issuing bodies include state departments of health, state departments of corrections, county health departments, municipal hospitals, and regional health authority networks that maintain formularies and manage pharmacy inventory for inpatient, outpatient, and custodial care settings.
The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code, limiting visibility into current geographic concentration or representative procurements. Desmopressin procurement at the state and local level typically occurs through standing agreements with pharmaceutical distributors and GPOs rather than as discrete solicitations, which may explain the absence of posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs in the recent-opportunities record. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state health department pharmacy procurement notices, correctional health services RFQs, and GPO contract vehicles for indirect access to institutional buyers rather than anticipate individual state or local desmopressin solicitations.
