UNSPSC 51191607: Dextrose USP solution for injection

A substance used to treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), insulin shock, or dehydration (fluid loss).

UNSPSC 51191607 Dextrose USP solution for injection is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of parenteral products and related services than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments are procuring intravenous solutions, parenteral nutrition formulations (TPN and PPN), and associated delivery and preparation services to support healthcare delivery within correctional facilities, hospitals, and other public health settings. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, county health authorities, and municipal utilities — though the recent opportunities show significant variation in what is tagged under this code, ranging from parenteral products for incarcerated individuals to industrial chemicals for water treatment and specialized valve components for wastewater systems, indicating inconsistent or broad application of the code across jurisdictions.

Washington State Department of Corrections is the most active recent buyer under this code, issuing RFQQ K13020 on September 8, 2026 for parenteral products, services, and equipment to supply eight correctional facilities across three regions (West, Central, and East), with responses due October 7, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for September 23, 2026. The contract runs November 26, 2026 through June 30, 2030 with potential extensions, and DOC anticipates awarding up to three bidders per region with pricing fixed for the initial two-year term. The scope explicitly includes parenteral nutrition solutions, IV solutions, and controlled substances with demanding delivery requirements — PN bags within 24 hours of order and other parenteral products within 8 hours. The RFQ encourages bids from small businesses (25%), minority-owned businesses (10%), women-owned businesses (6%), and veteran-owned businesses (5%), with contractors required to maintain $2 million professional liability coverage and $2 million cyber liability coverage, naming the state as an additional insured. Geographic activity centers on Washington state, with one recent opportunity from Florida (Broward County RFI on valve components) and one from Connecticut (City of Meriden on sodium bisulfite for water treatment), neither directly aligned with the code's nominal parenteral-products scope.
