UNSPSC 51373452: Codeine/phenylephrine/pseudoephedrine

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 RE301. This VA Drug Class (RE301) classifies this compound as belonging to the group OPIOID-CONTAINING ANTITUSSIVES/EXPECTORANTS.

UNSPSC 51373452 Codeine/phenylephrine/pseudoephedrine is a Commodity code that encompasses branded and generic pharmaceutical products containing these active ingredients, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code are actually solicitations for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida) and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), neither of which focuses on the specific codeine-based combination product the code nominally describes. State and local health departments, county public health agencies, and cooperative purchasing alliances administering multi-state pharmaceutical agreements are the primary issuing bodies for pharmaceutical procurement at this tier.

Activity under this code appears sparse and geographically scattered, with recent solicitations concentrated in Florida and Minnesota. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to its community health building, due July 26, 2023, through competitive sealed bidding. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement issued RFP S1070000015802 through MMCAP on January 20, 2026, to establish multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests this code receives limited use for routine pharmaceutical purchasing and may warrant verification of the correct code classification before pursuing opportunities in this space.
