UNSPSC 51101669: Monensin

This classification denotes an antiprotozoal agent with the molecular formula C36H62O11, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 906O0YJ6ZP, chemically known as monensin, monosodium salt but generally known as monensin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 4243. European Medicines Agency schedules Monensin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09048MIG.

UNSPSC 51101669 Monensin (Commodity) shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with its pharmaceutical scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescriptions, medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals through a cooperative purchasing alliance—do not reflect purchases of monensin, a feed additive for livestock. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact in state and local procurement systems, as none of the solicitations target the antibiotic ionophore compound that the code nominally describes.

Without relevant recent opportunities under this code, there is no basis to characterize issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative procurement patterns. Firms pursuing state and local contracts in animal health, feed additives, or pharmaceutical manufacturing should verify that opportunities are tagged to the correct UNSPSC commodity code before allocating business development resources.
