UNSPSC 51101644: Carnidazole

This classification denotes an antiprotozoal agent with the molecular formula C8H12N4O3S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier RH5KI819JG, chemically known as carbamothioic acid, (2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1h-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)-, o-methyl ester but generally known as carnidazole, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3032998. European Medicines Agency schedules Carnidazole in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06133MIG. The term CARNIDAZOLE is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51101644 Carnidazole is a Commodity code tracking pharmaceutical products procured by state and local health agencies. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show limited direct alignment with carnidazole itself — the posted solicitations concern doxycycline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, and naloxone, reflecting how state procurement systems often classify a broad range of pharmaceutical inventory under parent or sibling codes. State and local buyers under this code family include health departments, county public health agencies, and community health systems acquiring pharmaceutical inventory for emergency preparedness, communicable disease response, and public health initiatives. The procurement vehicles reflect standard state and local practice: piggyback purchasing through cooperative consortia such as MMCAP Infuse, and competitive IFBs with fixed-fee pricing based on unit costs and volume commitments.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Illinois based on the most recent opportunities. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 (Solicitation 26482DPHPREPDB53392) covering doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride with a 12-month initial term and renewal options through year 3. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (60459723LAS) with a July 26, 2023 response deadline for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, delivered quarterly to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. Neither opportunity explicitly required business enterprise program utilization. The recent opportunities do not represent active solicitations for carnidazole specifically; firms pursuing this code should verify current demand signals directly with state and local health procurement offices rather than rely on the current tagged activity.
