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, but the only recent state and local solicitation tagged to it—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026—is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment with no connection to lepirudin, an anticoagulant pharmaceutical. The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity; the mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the opportunity record or that lepirudin procurement under this code is not currently visible in state and local channels.

Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota's local government unit and service cooperative, issued the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, with nationwide and Canadian participation rights; proposals were due June 16, 2026. The scope and issuing-body structure are unrelated to pharmaceutical procurement. Until state and local health departments, hospital systems, or purchasing consortia post solicitations that actually name lepirudin or anticoagulant drugs under this code, the commodity shows minimal actionable opportunity.
