This classification denotes an antineoplastic antibiotic and depsipeptide with the molecular formula C24H36N4O6S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier CX3T89XQBK, chemically known as l-valine, n-((3s,4e)-3-hydroxy-7-mercapto-1-oxo-4-heptenyl)-d-valyl-d-cysteinyl-(2z)-2-amino-2-butenoxyl-, (4-1)-lactone, cyclic (1-2)-disulfide but generally known as romidepsin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5352062.

UNSPSC 51111762 Romidepsin is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific pharmaceutical product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show substantial mismatch with the code's scope. The opportunities solicited include naloxone and drug deactivation systems for emergency response and community health, general medical and first aid supplies for fire department rescue operations, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy benefit programs, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products through cooperative purchasing. None of these align squarely with romidepsin, a specialized oncology therapeutic with limited mainstream procurement volume. The issuing bodies include a county health department (Seminole County, Florida), a state health and human services agency (Texas HHS Commission), a municipal fire department (City of Tampa), and a multi-state cooperative purchasing alliance (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, with participation by Oregon and other states). State and local activity under this code reflects broad pharmaceutical procurement rather than narrow therapeutic-class buying.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, and the Upper Midwest. Seminole County's IFB (due July 26, 2023) sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to a community health building and an estimated contract value not disclosed. The City of Tampa's ITB for medical and first aid supplies (due March 13, 2026) budgeted $700,000 for 169 line items serving the Fire Department Rescue Division, with a one-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals, designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP (due March 26, 2026) established multiple-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through three authorized wholesalers, effective July 1, 2026, with two-year initial terms and performance penalties of $200 to $1,500 per violation. The Texas HHS Commission issued a Request for Information on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs (response deadline April 3, 2026) as a market-intelligence phase preceding formal solicitation, with no award value specified.
