UNSPSC 51363500: Combination hypnotics or sedatives

This classification denotes combination drugs and preparations that induce drowsiness or sleep or otherwise reduce psychological excitement or anxiety, hence the term sedatives or hypnotics. Typical combination sedative or hypnotic constituents are amobarbital, aprobarbital, barbital, and butabarbital.

UNSPSC 51363500 Combination hypnotics or sedatives (Class) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. Recent opportunities show minimal relevance to the nominal scope of the code.

The four recent solicitations posted under 51363500 involve naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription pharmacy programs, pre-employment psychological screening for public safety candidates, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through a cooperative purchasing alliance. None of these categories represent combination hypnotics or sedatives—the stated scope of the code. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 seeking naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 in April 2026 to explore direct contracting models for pharmacy benefit programs; the City of Peoria, Arizona (Maricopa County) issued RFP P26-0037 in March 2026 for psychological screening services; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP in January 2026 to establish contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products effective through June 30, 2028. The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Minnesota, with MMCAP serving multiple state and local government facilities including Oregon. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or minimal legitimate activity under the hypnotics and sedatives category in current state and local procurement.
