UNSPSC 51131609: Desirudin

This classification denotes an anticoagulant agent with the molecular formula C287H440N80O110S6, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier U0JZ726775, chemically known as hirudin (hirudo medicinalis isoform hv1), 63-desulfo- but generally known as desirudin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 16129703. European Medicines Agency schedules Desirudin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06996MIG. The term DESIRUDIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51131609 Desirudin (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records, but the single recent opportunity linked to the code does not reflect purchases of this pharmaceutical product. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline to establish a contracting framework for law enforcement equipment — body armor, duty gear, tactical equipment, and related items — available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits across the United States and Canada. The solicitation scope and the code name (an anticoagulant injectable) do not align, signaling either a tagging error in the state or local procurement system or that desirudin itself is not currently a material category under active solicitation at the state and local level.

The Sourcewell opportunity encompasses participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends to hundreds of jurisdictions nationwide. Vendors must submit responses exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal (https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov) by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time; questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. Given the mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical designation and the posted opportunity's law enforcement equipment scope, this UNSPSC code shows little relevant recent activity for pharmaceutical procurement.
