UNSPSC 51273822: Eucalyptus oil/menthol

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 51273822 Eucalyptus oil/menthol is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code concern naloxone and drug deactivation systems, therapeutic pharmacy initiatives and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products through cooperative purchasing — none of which involve eucalyptus oil or menthol. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source database or that this Commodity code sees minimal or no legitimate activity in state and local procurement.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota through different issuing bodies (Seminole County, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Minnesota Department of Administration working through MMCAP), but these do not represent actual demand for eucalyptus oil or menthol products. Seminole County released IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, for naloxone procurement; the Texas HHS Commission issued an RFI on April 3, 2026, regarding direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance posted an RFP on January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026, for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers. None of these solicitations address essential oils or botanical products. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for eucalyptus oil or menthol procurement and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing state and local opportunities in the pharmaceutical, health products, or OTC categories.
