UNSPSC 51373423 Chlorpheniramine/codeine/phenylephrine, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical products that state and local governments procure for healthcare delivery to incarcerated individuals and community health populations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for parenteral pharmaceutical products—intravenous solutions, controlled substances, and specialized nutrition formulations—supplied to correctional facilities and public health departments. The Washington State Department of Corrections and Seminole County, Florida have posted activity, indicating that correctional healthcare systems and county health departments are primary buyers. Correctional facilities in particular require rapid fulfillment of parenteral medications and nutrition products to support medical delivery to incarcerated populations, with delivery-window mandates (24-hour turnaround for specialized preparations, 8-hour fulfillment for routine parenteral products) reflecting operational urgency in healthcare settings.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Washington state and Florida. The Washington State Department of Corrections issued RFQ RFQQK13020, due October 7, 2026, for parenteral products and services across eight correctional facilities across three regions (West, Central, and East), with DOC anticipating multiple contractor selection and preference for minority-owned, women-owned, and small businesses through state set-asides. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026) for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries, though that posting's due date of July 26, 2023 appears to reference an archived opportunity. The Washington procurement emphasizes vendor qualification, including Washington State business licensure and NCIC clearance for service personnel, compliance with fixed pricing for the initial two-year contract term, and specified insurance requirements including cyber liability and professional liability coverage. Bidders pursuing this code should anticipate rigorous qualification screening, rapid delivery-performance mandates, and healthcare-sector compliance demands in correctional and public health environments.
