UNSPSC 51183623: Insulin degludec

Insulin degludec is an ultra long-acting basal insulin analog used for the treatment of hyperglycemia caused by Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes.

UNSPSC 51183623 Insulin degludec (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local government procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations in the recent-opportunities block — of fourteen recorded opportunities, none involve insulin degludec or direct pharmaceutical procurement for individual diabetes management. Three opportunities tangentially touch pharmaceuticals or medical supplies: Seminole County's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (a public health emergency response tool, not a diabetes therapeutic); Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals and vending systems serving paramedics and EMTs in emergency medical service delivery; and a Minnesota cooperative purchasing alliance RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local government facilities through authorized wholesalers. The remainder of the block covers trade shows, vendor networking forums, informational events, and administrative notices — none of which represent active procurement demand for insulin degludec.

This code represents a narrow, specialized pharmaceutical input with limited applicability to state and local government contracting. Insulin degludec procurement by public entities typically occurs through pharmacy benefits programs (such as employee health plans), managed Medicaid programs under state health departments, or institutional healthcare delivery systems operated by counties or special districts. The absence of recent activity under this specific commodity code does not indicate zero demand — rather, most state and local insulin purchasing flows through established standing contracts with pharmaceutical wholesalers, group purchasing organization (GPO) agreements such as MMCAP, or negotiated agreements within larger pharmaceutical supply contracts rather than through discrete solicitations tagged to this commodity level. Firms pursuing insulin degludec sales to state and local buyers should monitor broader pharmaceutical supply and pharmacy benefits program solicitations (typically UNSPSC Class 51181500 or Family 51180000) rather than this commodity code alone.
