UNSPSC 50501519: Doxercalciferol

This classification denotes a vitamin d analog with the molecular formula C28H44O2, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 3DIZ9LF5Y9, chemically known as vitamin d2, 1alpha-hydroxy- but more generally known as doxercalciferol, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 5281107. European Medicines Agency schedules Doxercalciferol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01826MIG.

The term DOXERCALCIFEROL is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see World Health Organization INN reference publication, Volume 14, No. 3, 2000, List 44). World Health Organization schedules doxercalciferol in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification and its WHO-DD or Drug Dictionary.

UNSPSC 50501519 Doxercalciferol, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of doxercalciferol, a synthetic vitamin D analog used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic kidney disease. State and local governments purchase this pharmaceutical through health departments, corrections systems, public health agencies, and Medicaid programs that manage formulary requirements and medication distribution for eligible populations. The work involves sourcing the drug itself—typically as oral capsules or injectable formulations—rather than related services or equipment. Purchasing entities range from state pharmacy benefit managers and Medicaid agencies to county health districts and municipal jails that maintain inmate medical supplies.

The source material contains no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code, so no geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or representative solicitations can be identified at this time. The absence of recent activity suggests either light procurement volume under the code designation or that state and local buyers are tagging doxercalciferol purchases to broader pharmaceutical-supply or Medicaid-managed-care codes instead.
