UNSPSC 51131526: Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta

Long-acting erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA) indicated for the treatment of patients with anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease.

UNSPSC 51131526 Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single sourced solicitation — Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026 — was issued for law enforcement equipment, not pharmaceutical products, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a biosynthetic erythropoietin analog) and the work actually being solicited under it. The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not appear to map to active state and local purchasing patterns for the product it nominally describes.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington state) and numerous other public entities across the United States and Canada. The cooperative procurement structure extends potential use to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. The solicitation was posted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov. Beyond this single mislabeled opportunity, no evidence supports current state and local demand for methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta procurement, suggesting either narrow or no active market activity under this code at the state and local level.
