UNSPSC 51362500: Hypnotic piperazines

Hypnotic drugs made from organic compounds composed of a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms at opposite positions (hexa-hydro-pyrazine(s)).

UNSPSC 51362500 Hypnotic piperazines is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement does not appear to reflect the actual work being solicited. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve naloxone procurement, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, and generic multi-source pharmaceutical distribution — none of which are hypnotic piperazines. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission RFI addresses pharmacy benefit program infrastructure rather than a specific drug class; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) solicitation seeks generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across all therapeutic categories. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code itself has drifted from its nominal scope in state and local procurement practice.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed and operationally distinct: Seminole County, Florida (county health procurement); Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state agency); and Minnesota Department of Administration on behalf of MMCAP (state cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple states including Oregon). The Seminole County opportunity is a competitive IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The Texas RFI, posted April 3, 2026, is an exploratory market-intelligence exercise with no formal award timeline or budget disclosed. The MMCAP RFP, due March 26, 2026, establishes multi-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products effective July 1, 2026, with evaluations weighted heavily on price competitiveness (75 percent) and requiring vendors to work through three authorized wholesalers. None of these opportunities target hypnotic piperazines specifically, and the code shows little relevant activity when measured against its stated scope.
