This classification denotes an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor with the molecular formula 2C15H21N3O2.H2O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier G63V2J2N71, chemically known as pyrrolo(2,3-b)indole, 1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydro-5-hydroxy-1,3a,8-trimethyl-, methylcarbamate (ester), (3as-cis)-, sulfate (2:1) but generally known as physostigmine sulfate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6150.

European Medicines Agency schedules Physostigmine sulfate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB14866MIG. As of Q4 2014, PHYSOSTIGMINE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity.

UNSPSC 51241113 Physostigmine is a Commodity code identifying a specific pharmaceutical agent — an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used primarily in acute management of anticholinergic toxicity and certain ophthalmologic conditions. State and local governments procure physostigmine through health departments, corrections agencies, emergency medical services systems, and institutional buyers (county jails, detention facilities, and municipal hospitals) that stock the drug for emergency response and clinical use. The drug is typically sourced through competitive pharmaceutical supply contracts, group purchasing organizations, or standing state pharmacy benefit arrangements rather than through individual RFPs or RFQs. Procurement volume and frequency depend on the jurisdiction's operational needs — county detention facilities and emergency departments are primary users, while smaller municipalities typically source through state or regional cooperative purchasing vehicles to achieve volume discounts and standardized pricing.

The source provides no recent state or local opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted solicitations, bid records, or contract awards naming physostigmine, geographic concentration and issuing-body activity patterns cannot be characterized from current procurement signals.
