UNSPSC 51273821: Dipropylene glycol salicylate/histamine/methyl nicotinate

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE650. This VA Drug Class (DE650) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANALGESICS, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51273821 Dipropylene glycol salicylate/histamine/methyl nicotinate is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities actually tagged under it. The recent opportunity on file involves the procurement of naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and drug deactivation systems for community health support, neither of which aligns with the chemical compounds named in the code. The code itself references specialty pharmaceutical ingredients used in topical or transdermal formulations, but state and local procurement bodies are not using it to source those materials; instead, they are tagging finished medical products and harm-reduction equipment under a code that does not describe them.

The single recent opportunity in the dataset is Seminole County, Florida's IFB 60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (the date appears to predate the post date and may reflect a data entry error). Seminole County sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The county required electronic bid submission, E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and specific insurance coverage including workers' compensation and commercial general liability. The contract carried a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option and a three-month probationary termination clause. Given the narrow activity in this code and the clear mismatch between its chemical scope and the medical-product procurement it reflects, the code does not represent a reliable identifier for state and local procurement of the compounds it nominally covers and warrants careful verification before pursuit.
