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 DE101. This VA Drug Class (DE101) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIBACTERIAL, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51284801 Benzalkonium/lidocaine, a Commodity code, shows limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block records four solicitations, of which only one—Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS for naloxone and drug deactivation systems—addresses pharmaceutical or medical products in any form; the others (Texas HHS's Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative RFI, Tampa Fire Department's medical and first aid supplies bid, and Minnesota's MMCAP generic pharmaceuticals RFP) fall outside the benzalkonium/lidocaine category and appear to have been misfiled or cross-tagged. When solicitations are properly matched to the code's scope, state and local governments are buying naloxone and associated safety products for community health and emergency response, as reflected in Seminole County's annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems through the county's e-Procurement Portal.

Issuing bodies are limited in the available record to a single county health authority (Seminole County, Florida). The geographic spread covers only Florida based on recent activity explicitly tied to this code. Seminole County's IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (a date that predates the posting), calls for quarterly deliveries of naloxone and drug deactivation systems to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida; bidders must include all shipping and delivery costs, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance. The contract runs two years with an optional one-year renewal. No explicit small business or disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides are stated. The mismatch between the recent-opportunities block and the code's nominal scope suggests that the code sees minimal relevant state and local solicitation activity at present, warranting caution in portfolio allocation.
