UNSPSC 51386606: Fluocinolone/pyrithione

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 DE200. This VA Drug Class (DE200) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, TOPICAL.

UNSPSC 51386606 Fluocinolone/pyrithione, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged to it. The three most recent opportunities—a Seminole County, Florida IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, a Texas HHS RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products—involve procurement of broad pharmaceutical and health-related products, not the specific topical steroid and antimicrobial compound this code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities listed are misdirected tags rather than authentic procurement demand for fluocinolone/pyrithione formulations.

State and local issuing bodies do not appear to be actively soliciting fluocinolone/pyrithione products under this code. The Seminole County IFB (posted Jun 30, 2026, response due Jul 26, 2023) targets opioid-reversal and drug disposal systems, not dermatological products. The Texas HHS RFI (Apr 3, 2026) explores pharmacy benefit program architecture and manufacturer relationships at scale, not individual pharmaceutical SKUs. The MMCAP cooperative RFP (posted Jan 20, 2026, due Mar 26, 2026) covers generic pharmaceuticals and OTC items distributed through three authorized wholesalers with cGMP and DSCSA compliance required, but does not isolate this specific compound. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should treat the recent record as noise and seek alternative classifications or conduct direct outreach to state pharmacy programs and county health departments to establish authentic demand signals before committing resources.
