UNSPSC 51131720: Benzarone

This classification denotes a thrombolytic agent with the molecular formula C17H14O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 23ZW4BG89C, chemically known as methanone, (2-ethyl-3-benzofuranyl)(4-hydroxyphenyl)- but generally known as benzarone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 255968. European Medicines Agency schedules Benzarone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05740MIG.

UNSPSC 51131720 Benzarone, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single posted opportunity under this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, which solicits law enforcement equipment broadly rather than benzarone or any specific pharmaceutical or chemical product by name. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, though the procurement extends to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical nomenclature and the law enforcement equipment scope suggests either a tagging error or a highly specialized law enforcement use case for benzarone that is not evident from publicly available solicitation documents.

The recent activity centers on cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell's framework model, which structures multiple jurisdictions' demand under a single contracting vehicle to expand vendor market reach while standardizing terms. No specific budget, set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or award values are disclosed in the solicitation materials. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal exclusively; all documents, amendments, and Q&A occur within that system rather than through traditional state purchasing portals. Given the absence of additional benzarone-specific opportunities in the recent record and the disconnect between the code's chemical-product designation and the law enforcement equipment framing, this code warrants close attention only if your firm has a documented law enforcement equipment offering that somehow maps to benzarone, or if you have reason to believe the code assignment reflects a legitimate procurement signal rather than a data-entry error.
