UNSPSC 51111765: Trabectedin

This classification denotes a dna minor groove binding agent with the molecular formula C39H43N3O11S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier ID0YZQ2TCP, chemically known as spiro(6,16-(epithiopropanoxymethano)-7,13-imino-12h-1,3-dioxolo(7,8)isoquino(3,2,-b)(3)benzazocine-20,1(2h)-isoquinolin)-19-one, 5-(acetyloxy)-3,4,6,6a,7,13,14,16-octahydro-6,8,14-trihydroxy-7,9-dimethoxy-4,10,23-trimethyl-, (1r,6r,6ar,7r,13s,14s,16r)- but generally known as trabectedin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 108150.

UNSPSC 51111765 Trabectedin, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific chemotherapy agent — and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover naloxone and drug deactivation systems, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, generic pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The actual procurement activity reflects a broad pharmaceutical and medical supply sourcing function rather than procurement of trabectedin specifically. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), city fire departments (Tampa), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local participants across multiple states including Oregon). The code appears to be capturing pharmaceutical and medical consumables procurement across health, emergency response, and public health verticals rather than specialty oncology agents.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast (Florida), Texas, and the Upper Midwest (Minnesota with interstate reach). Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) due July 26, 2023, for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for community health delivery. The City of Tampa issued an ITB (26P00145) due March 13, 2026, for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000, with a 5 percent SLBE bid discount available. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI (HHS0017013) in April 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional PBM and wholesaler channels. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued an RFP (S1070000015802) due March 26, 2026, for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers, with June 1, 2026 contract effectiveness. The code shows no recent activity specific to trabectedin procurement; the tagging appears to reflect a coding error or overly broad classification by the issuing jurisdictions.
