UNSPSC 51241517 Cyclopentolate/phenylephrine, a Commodity code, describes ophthalmic pharmaceutical combinations used in eye examinations and diagnostic procedures. State and local government purchasers — primarily school districts, county health departments, municipal health clinics, and state departments of health — acquire this medication for vision screening programs, occupational health services, and clinical eye-care delivery. The drug combination dilates the pupil and constricts blood vessels, enabling optometrists and ophthalmologists to perform comprehensive eye examinations and detect refractive errors, particularly in school-age populations and workforce health programs.

The source material contains no recent state or local contract opportunities posted under this code, making current market activity and geographic distribution unable to be characterized from available solicitation data. Procurement under this Commodity code likely occurs through standing pharmaceutical supply contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, or routine purchase orders rather than formal competitive solicitation notices, which limits visibility into current buying patterns across jurisdictions.
