UNSPSC 51101699: Pentamidine isethionate

This classification denotes an antiprotozoal agent and antifungal agent, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier V2P3K60DA2. European Medicines Agency schedules Pentamidine diisetionate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12202MIG. Pentamidine isethionate generally arises in the molecular formula C19H24N4O2.2C2H6O4S. The term 'pentamidine isethionate' is a European Pharmacopoeia designation. Most nations schedule pentamidine isethionate under HS 29252900 and SITC 51482.

As of Q4 2014, PENTAMIDINE ISETHIONATE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Pentamidine isethionate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0591959 and NCI Concept Code C29349. SMILES: C1CC(CCC1C(=N)N)OCCCCCOC2CCC(CC2)C(=N)N.C(CS(=O)(=O)O)O.C(CS(=O)(=O)O)O.

UNSPSC 51101699 Pentamidine isethionate, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific pharmaceutical compound used primarily in treating certain parasitic and fungal infections, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit pentamidine isethionate itself. Instead, the tagged solicitations span unrelated product categories: naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals with over-the-counter products. The disconnect suggests either a data-classification artifact in the state and local procurement systems or that pentamidine isethionate is occasionally bundled within broader pharmaceutical or medical-supply RFPs. Issuing bodies posting under this code include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple states including Oregon). No opportunities shown are dedicated to pentamidine isethionate procurement.

The geographic span of recent activity covers Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, though the code displays insufficient focused activity to characterize it as an active procurement area. Representative recent solicitations include Seminole County's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (due July 26, 2023), the City of Tampa's IFB for medical and first aid supplies with an estimated value of $700,000 and SLBE set-asides (due March 13, 2026), and MMCAP's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across state and local members (due March 26, 2026). Without dedicated recent pentamidine isethionate solicitations in the source data, this code warrants close monitoring for reclassification or bundling into higher-tier pharmaceutical family codes rather than pursuit based on current signals.
