UNSPSC 51184016 Tolbutamide, a Commodity code, addresses the procurement of tolbutamide, a sulfonylurea oral antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. State and local governments buy tolbutamide primarily through their health and human services departments, corrections systems, and public health agencies to supply inpatient and outpatient pharmaceutical needs. The medication appears in solicitations as part of broader pharmaceutical supply contracts, often bundled with other generic diabetic agents, or as a line item in healthcare facility formulary replenishment requests. Issuing bodies typically include state pharmacy benefit managers, county detention facilities, municipal health clinics, and state hospital systems that maintain formulary inventories and respond to clinical demand.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity in the opportunities dataset, geographic concentration and current market signals cannot be established from procurement records. Tolbutamide procurement may be executed through standing pharmaceutical cooperative purchasing agreements, on-call state contracts with existing vendors, or as part of state health department master supply lists, rather than through public solicitations at the commodity level. Business development professionals should monitor state pharmacy benefit programs and corrections procurement divisions for pharmaceutical supply rebids; activity patterns will emerge once solicitation records are posted.
