UNSPSC 51101929: Docetaxel

This classification denotes a taxane compound and taxane-site binding agent with the molecular formula C43H53NO14.3H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 15H5577CQD, chemically known as docetaxel, anhydrous but generally known as docetaxel, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 64780. European Medicines Agency schedules Docetaxel in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12492MIG.

UNSPSC 51101929 Docetaxel is a Commodity code for a specific oncology pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve docetaxel procurement — instead they reflect pharmaceutical warehouse supply and emergency-response drug distribution. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride antibiotics totaling $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two renewal years. Seminole County, Florida issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries. State and local health departments and county health authorities are the issuing bodies under this code's recent activity, using cooperative purchasing vehicles and competitive sealed bids to acquire pharmaceutical products and medical supplies for public health response and community health initiatives.

The geographic spread shows recent activity in Florida and Illinois. The Docetaxel code appears to be a misclassification vehicle for broader pharmaceutical procurement rather than a category actively pursued for its nominal oncology-drug scope. Vendors should verify whether an opportunity tagged under 51101929 actually requires docetaxel or another pharmaceutical product — the mismatch between the code's name and the substantive work being solicited is substantial. Seminole County's procurement included FEMA-potential funding, E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements, and a three-month probationary termination clause. The Illinois contract was an IFB awarded to the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder with no set-aside requirements.
