UNSPSC 51101673: Nifurtimox

This classification denotes an antiprotozoal agent with the molecular formula C10H13N3O5S, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier M84I3K7C2O, chemically known as 4-thiomorpholinamine, 3-methyl-n-((5-nitro-2-furanyl)methylene)-, 1,1-dioxide but more generally known as nifurtimox, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 6842999. The European Medicines Agency schedules Nifurtimox in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09280MIG.

UNSPSC 51101673 Nifurtimox, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this designation. The source records four recent opportunities tagged to this code, but none involves nifurtimox or antiparasitic pharmaceuticals; instead, they solicit naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, emergency medical and first aid supplies, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products. The code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local market under its stated pharmaceutical scope.

The mismatch between code designation and actual procurement content spans multiple issuing bodies and geographies. Seminole County, Florida (IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, due July 26, 2023), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (RFI for direct-to-manufacturer prescription capability, due April 3, 2026), the City of Tampa (IFB for medical and first aid supplies, due March 13, 2026, estimated $700,000.00), and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple states including Oregon (RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, due March 26, 2026) represent the recent recorded activity. None of these solicitations concerns nifurtimox specifically. Unless nifurtimox procurement occurs under different UNSPSC codes at the state and local level, this code does not reflect current buying patterns in the jurisdiction universe.
