UNSPSC 51101927: Cloquinate

This classification denotes an antiprotozoal agent, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier KI24A9FF7S. European Medicines Agency schedules Cloquinate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06747MIG. Cloquinate generally arises in the molecular formula C18H26CLN3.2C9H6INO4S.

UNSPSC 51101927 Cloquinate, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—cloquinate, a veterinary antiprotozoal agent—bears no relationship to the recent solicitations, which cover naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue, and generic pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing. State and local governments are not soliciting cloquinate through this code at present.

The mismatch between code and opportunity scope is stark enough that bidders should treat this code as currently inactive for state and local work. The tagging error appears systematic—none of the four recent opportunities (Seminole County's naloxone procurement, Texas HHS's pharmacy RFI, Tampa Fire's medical supplies IFB, and MMCAP's multi-state generic pharmaceuticals RFP) involve cloquinate or align with its veterinary pharmaceutical purpose. Until the code receives correct tagging or new solicitations targeting actual cloquinate supply emerge, this Commodity code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors in the animal health or pharmaceutical supply chain.
