UNSPSC 51131515: Hematin or hemin

This classification denotes an iron supplement which generally arises in the molecular form C34H32N4O4.Fe.HO, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 0WP180G15G. SMILES: CC1=C(C2=CC3=C(C(=C([N-]3)C=C4C(=C(C(=N4)C=C5C(=C(C(=N5)C=C1[N-]2)C=C)C)C=C)C)C)CCC(=O)O)CCC(=O)O.O.[Fe+2].

UNSPSC 51131515 Hematin or hemin is a Commodity code that represents specialized pharmaceutical or medical products used in treatments for certain blood disorders and conditions. State and local government procurement under this code remains minimal, with recent solicitations showing no direct purchasing activity for hematin or hemin products themselves. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—does not reflect actual hematin procurement; rather, the code appears to have been applied as a data-entry error or misclassification, as the solicitation addresses law enforcement equipment acquisition for multiple Washington counties and participating public entities nationwide through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, bearing no relationship to pharmaceutical hematin products.

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued the Law Enforcement Equipment RFP on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through its procurement portal. The opportunity spans Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with other public jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. This cooperative framework is designed to establish standardized contracting terms for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical scope and the law enforcement equipment solicitation indicates that procurement activity under hematin or hemin at the state and local level is not currently visible in recent opportunity postings, making it difficult to characterize active market demand or issuing-body patterns for this specific product category.
