UNSPSC 51314346: Chlorpheniramine/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine

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 RE501. This VA Drug Class (RE501) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIHISTAMINE/DECONGESTANT.

UNSPSC 51314346 Chlorpheniramine/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The solicitations tagged to this code include a Seminole County, Florida IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, a Texas Health and Human Services Commission RFI regarding direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products — none of which specifically target the cold-remedy antihistamine and decongestant combination named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to flag broader pharmaceutical procurement activity rather than the specific active ingredient formulation.

The recent opportunities do show pharmaceutical procurement across state health and human services departments, county health agencies, and cooperative purchasing consortiums spanning Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. The Seminole County opportunity (IFB 60459723LAS, response deadline July 26, 2023) sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries; the MMCAP RFP (due March 26, 2026) established multi-state contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers with July 1, 2026 implementation; and the Texas HHS Commission RFI (April 3, 2026) gathered vendor capability information for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. If this code is genuinely intended for chlorpheniramine/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine products, the recent activity does not support it, and the code warrants careful review before pursuing opportunities tagged under its number.
