UNSPSC 51183511 Phenformin is a Commodity code for a specific pharmaceutical active ingredient used in diabetes management. State and local governments procure phenformin primarily through their Medicaid programs, corrections departments, and public health agencies to support treatment regimens for eligible beneficiaries and incarcerated populations. The drug is purchased as part of formulary acquisitions and specialty medication inventories rather than as a standalone procurement; issuing bodies typically include state health departments, state Medicaid agencies, county health systems, and correctional facilities. Purchases are generally consolidated through state or regional cooperative purchasing agreements and pharmaceutical group purchasing organizations, which negotiate volume discounts on behalf of multiple jurisdictions.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without visibility into active RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity, the geographic spread and current procurement intensity cannot be characterized from posted solicitations.
