UNSPSC 51352204 Diethylstilbestrol, a Commodity code, addresses procurement of diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen historically used in veterinary and pharmaceutical applications. State and local governments procure this substance primarily for research, testing, and limited clinical or veterinary use where regulatory approval and documented medical necessity exist. The code typically covers pharmaceutical-grade DES supplied in bulk or standard formulations, though procurement volumes and frequency vary significantly based on institutional research programs and compliance requirements.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under this code. Procurement activity for DES remains sparse in the state and local market, reflecting the substance's restricted regulatory status, the decline in medical applications following documented health risks, and the limited number of public-sector institutions with active research or clinical programs requiring it. Business development professionals should verify current regulatory approval and institutional demand before pursuing opportunities under this code.
