UNSPSC 51131608: Lepirudin

This classification denotes an anticoagulant agent with the molecular formula C287H440N80O111S6, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Y43GF64R34, chemically known as hirudin (hirudo medicinalis isoform hv1), 63-desulfo- but generally known as lepirudin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 16129703. European Medicines Agency schedules Lepirudin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08435MIG.

UNSPSC 51131608 Lepirudin is a Commodity code that names a specific pharmaceutical anticoagulant, yet the only recent state and local opportunity tagged under this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, which solicits law enforcement equipment — a category wholly unrelated to pharmaceutical procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being sought indicates that this code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is issuing the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions, public entities, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada. Proposals are submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with questions directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation does not disclose set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, award values, or budget ranges. The resulting contract will establish a framework agreement for potential future utilization by participating entities. Because the single recent opportunity under this code is a mismatch, state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 51131608 itself does not presently signal meaningful market demand.
