UNSPSC 51101674: Nitarsone

This classification denotes an antiprotozoal agent with the molecular formula C6H6AsNO5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier JP2EN8WORU, chemically known as benzenearsonic acid, p-nitro- but generally known as nitarsone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 66826. European Medicines Agency schedules Nitarsone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09310MIG.

UNSPSC 51101674 Nitarsone (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The two opportunities present in the source — a completed pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract awarded by the Illinois Department of Public Health for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, and a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems — do not correspond to nitarsone procurement. Nitarsone is a veterinary pharmaceutical (an arsenic-based growth promoter for poultry), whereas the cited opportunities cover human therapeutic pharmaceuticals and harm-reduction supplies. The mismatch suggests the code may be tagged incorrectly in state and local procurement systems or that nitarsone is not actively procured through public competitive bidding at the state and local level.

Without recent state and local solicitations for nitarsone itself, no geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative opportunity detail can be reliably drawn from the source. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County represent different issuing-body types — a state health department and a county government — but their activities fall outside the scope of this commodity code. Business development professionals pursuing nitarsone or related veterinary pharmaceutical contracts should verify whether state and local jurisdictions are actually soliciting this product class or whether procurement occurs through different channels, such as cooperative purchasing vehicles for agricultural or veterinary suppliers.
