UNSPSC 51453401 Permethrin topical antiparasitic is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific topical antiparasitic medication—does not match the opportunities tagged under it in the available records. The recent solicitations include a naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems purchase by Seminole County, Florida; a Request for Information by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy prescriptions; a Tampa Fire Department bid for medical and first aid supplies; and a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products. None of these opportunities directly concern permethrin topical treatments or antiparasitic medications as a primary procurement line item.

The code appears to see little current activity among state and local buyers. No issuing body has posted a solicitation specifically targeting permethrin or related topical antiparasitic products, and the opportunities listed show geographic spread across Florida, Texas, and Minnesota but address different pharmaceutical categories—emergency medical supplies, bulk pharmacy stock, and direct-to-manufacturer programs—rather than topical antiparasitic procurement. A business development professional evaluating this code should note the mismatch between the code's scope and actual buyer requests and treat this category as dormant for current opportunity pursuit.
