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 HS701. This VA Drug Class (HS701) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTERIOR PITUITARY.

UNSPSC 51183001 Corticotropin/zinc hydroxide, a Commodity code, addresses a narrow pharmaceutical product class with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers corticotropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone) formulations combined with zinc hydroxide, a specialized pharmaceutical preparation. State and local health agencies, including state health departments and county public health offices, are the primary issuing bodies when procurement under this code occurs, though such solicitations are infrequent. The product is used in limited clinical or therapeutic contexts within public health systems.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under UNSPSC 51183001 appear in current procurement channels. The code shows little active solicitation activity, suggesting either low demand among state and local buyers, use of alternative product codes for similar therapeutics, or procurement through standing statewide cooperative purchasing agreements without fresh open-market RFPs or RFQs.
