UNSPSC 51111741: Demecolcine

This classification denotes a colchicine-site binding agent with the molecular formula C21H25NO5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Z01IVE25KI, chemically known as 6,7-dihydro-1,2,3,10-tetramethoxy-7-(methylamino)-benzo(alpha)heptalen-9(5h)-one but generally known as demecolcine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2832. European Medicines Agency schedules Demecolcine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06964MIG.

UNSPSC 51111741 Demecolcine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears misaligned with its nominal pharmaceutical scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida posted opportunities tagged to this code, but neither actually solicited demecolcine — the Illinois procurement covered Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets via a piggyback award to Chartwell Rx LLC, while Seminole County sought Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems. The code shows little relevant recent activity directly tied to its stated product line, and the posted opportunities suggest either miscoding or a broader pharmaceutical-procurement taxonomy designation that does not reflect the specific commodity named.

Illinois and Florida account for the limited recent visibility under this code. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 pharmaceutical warehouse contract (Bid 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392, completed August 28, 2026) through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to supply two antibiotic products over 12 months with renewal options for years 2 and 3; this was an Invitation for Bid process with no set-aside requirements. Seminole County posted an IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023, though noted as a historical posting) for annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries. Neither opportunity aligns directly with demecolcine procurement, and the code does not show current open solicitations for the product itself.
