UNSPSC 51111740: Daunorubicin hydrochloride

This classification denotes an anthracycline antibiotic with the molecular formula C27H29NO10.ClH, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier UD984I04LZ, chemically known as 5,12-naphthacenedione, 8-acetyl-10-((3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-alpha-l-lyxo-hexopyranosyl)oxy)-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6,8,11-trihydroxy-1-methoxy-, radical ion(1-), (8s,10s)- but generally known as daunorubicin hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2958.

UNSPSC 51111740 Daunorubicin hydrochloride is a Commodity code for a chemotherapy pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of daunorubicin itself. Instead, the opportunities show purchasing activity for unrelated pharmaceutical products — naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and antibiotic tablets — suggesting a mismatch between the code assignment and actual buying patterns. State and local agencies use this code when acquiring pharmaceutical inventory through piggyback and cooperative purchasing vehicles, particularly for emergency health supplies and disease management. The issuing bodies include county health departments and state health agencies operating through multi-agency cooperative purchasing consortia such as MMCAP Infuse.

Recent opportunities show activity in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for antibiotic tablets through the MMCAP Infuse consortium; the contract ran $2,999,999.11 over its full term including renewal periods. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for naloxone and drug deactivation systems with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, requiring 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries and full vendor responsibility for shipping. Neither opportunity reflects actual daunorubicin procurement, indicating this code sees limited relevant recent activity in state and local purchasing.
