About UNSPSC 51241105

UNSPSC 51241105 Carbachol is a Commodity code that describes a parasympathomimetic pharmaceutical agent used in ophthalmic and urological clinical settings. State and local governments procure carbachol primarily through their health departments, correctional facilities, public hospitals, and community health centers to support acute-care ophthalmology (particularly for glaucoma and anterior chamber reformation during cataract surgery) and urology services. The drug is typically sourced via standing state pharmaceutical contracts, group purchasing organization (GPO) agreements, or direct hospital procurement, often as part of broader surgical-supply or pharmacy-benefit tenders rather than as a standalone line item.

The source material contains no recent state or local contract opportunities specifically tagged to UNSPSC 51241105. Carbachol is a low-volume, specialty pharmaceutical commodity with narrow clinical applications; procurement activity under this code is likely embedded within larger pharmaceutical, surgical, or hospital-supply contracts at state departments of health, county hospital systems, and correctional health services rather than surfaced as discrete solicitations. Interested vendors should monitor ongoing pharmacy and surgical-supply RFPs from state health agencies and regional hospital consortiums, and track standing-offer amendments under existing state pharmaceutical contracts where carbachol may be added or repriced.
