The term DESIRUDIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51131609 Desirudin is a Commodity code that nominally names an anticoagulant pharmaceutical agent, yet the single recent state and local opportunity tagged under it solicits law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle with no connection to the pharmaceutical scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities across the United States and Canada. The opportunity covers multiple Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, alongside numerous other jurisdictions, and the resulting contract will be reserved for future utilization through a participating addendum with Sourcewell. This code shows minimal relevant recent activity in pharmaceutical procurement at the state and local level; the single posted opportunity appears to be a tagging mismatch between the pharmaceutical commodity code and the law enforcement equipment solicitation.

The geographic scope of the posted opportunity spans Washington state and extends nationally and into Canada through Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing framework, though no other state-level activity has been captured in the recent-opportunities record. The RFP requires vendor account creation on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov for access to all solicitation documents and submissions; questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation does not identify award values, set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or technology integration constraints in available documentation. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for meaningful pharmaceutical procurement activity at present and verify that any response targets the correct commodity code for their product or service line.
