UNSPSC 51182704: Glyburide/metformin

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 HS502. This VA Drug Class (HS502) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ORAL HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS, ORAL.

UNSPSC 51182704 Glyburide/metformin is a Commodity code that nominally covers combination oral diabetes medications, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's pharmaceutical scope. The single representative opportunity on record is Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS, an IFB posted June 30, 2026, seeking procurement of naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and drug deactivation systems—products entirely outside the diabetes-medication family. A second opportunity, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI HHS0017013 posted April 3, 2026, solicits vendor capabilities for a direct-to-manufacturer prescription program but does not specify glyburide/metformin or any particular drug class. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity suggests either tagging error in state systems or that the code is not a reliable predictor of what state and local buyers are actually seeking under this classification.

Activity under UNSPSC 51182704 appears sparse and geographically limited to Florida and Texas in recent months, with no evidence of repeat issuing bodies or sustained demand. Seminole County's naloxone IFB carries a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (a historical date that predates the posting timestamp, indicating possible data inconsistency), while the Texas HHS RFI closed April 3, 2026 with no follow-on formal solicitation yet visible. No state departments, school districts, transit authorities, or other systematic buyers appear in the recent-opportunities record. Given the code-opportunity mismatch and the absence of recurring purchasers or clear pharmaceutical procurement patterns, firms should verify actual demand under this code before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged with UNSPSC 51182704.
