UNSPSC 51112524: Trichlormethine

This classification denotes a nitrogen mustard compound with the molecular formula C6H12Cl3N, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 66WBM7N0NM, chemically known as 2,2, 2-trichlorotriethylamine hydrochloride but more generally known as trichlormethine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5561. European Medicines Agency schedules Trichlormethine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11264MIG.

UNSPSC 51112524 Trichlormethine, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of this specific chemotherapy agent — a nitrogen mustard derivative used in cancer treatment — by state and local health agencies and pharmacy benefit programs. State and local governments acquire trichlormethine primarily through health department procurement offices, state Medicaid programs, and pharmacy benefit management initiatives that serve state employee and retiree health plans. The recent activity under this code reflects a shift toward direct manufacturer relationships and value-based contracting models designed to improve prescription fulfillment efficiency and reduce costs, moving away from traditional pharmacy benefit manager and group purchasing organization intermediaries.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued Request for Information No. HHS0017013 on March 27, 2026, with a response deadline of April 3, 2026, seeking vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs under its Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative. The RFI solicits information from potential vendors about their experience with direct contracting for self-insured employers and government health plans, flexibility to negotiate pricing without traditional rebate structures, and ability to implement value-based or outcomes-based agreements. As an exploratory procurement mechanism rather than a binding competitive solicitation, the RFI aims to inform the state's future strategy and procurement specifications before issuing a formal RFP. The source contains only this single recent opportunity and does not identify other issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or dollar values at the commodity level; activity under this code appears limited to this preliminary market-intelligence phase in Texas.
