UNSPSC 51101904: Quinine

This classification denotes an antimalarial agent, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier A7V27PHC7A. European Medicines Agency schedules Quinine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB15084MIG. Quinine generally arises in the molecular formula C20H24N2O2. The term QUININE is a United States Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Name designation. Most nations schedule quinine under HS 29392000 and SITC 54142. As of Q4 2014, QUININE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity.

Quinine bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0034417 and NCI Concept Code C794. SMILES: OC(C1N2CC(C(C1)CC2)C=C)C1C2C(NCC1)CCC(OC)C2.

UNSPSC 51101904 Quinine, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers quinine pharmaceuticals, but the recent opportunities tagged under it diverge substantially: one records a completed award for antibiotic tablets (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride) through a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract, and the other solicits naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health. Neither opportunity involves quinine procurement. The tagging mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all pharmaceutical placeholder rather than a true signal of quinine demand in state and local markets.

Issuing bodies with recent activity under this code include the Illinois Department of Public Health (through cooperative purchasing via the MMCAP Infuse consortium) and Seminole County, Florida. The Illinois procurement awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract over three years to Chartwell Rx LLC via IFB for antibiotic tablet supply with 12-month initial term and renewal options. Seminole County's IFB, posted June 30, 2026 with response due July 26, 2023 (a date inconsistency in the source), seeks 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option. Neither solicitation represents active quinine procurement, and the code shows no evidence of being a primary vehicle for state and local pharmaceutical sourcing in the current market.
