UNSPSC 51131813: Aminomethylbenzoic acid

This classification denotes an antifibrinolytic with the molecular formula C8H9NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 68WG9JKC7L, 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid or 4-Carboxybenzylamine, but generally known as aminomethylbenzoic acid, and which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 65526. European Medicines Agency schedules aminomethylbenzoic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12854MIG. As of Q4 2014, AMINOMETHYLBENZOIC ACID remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity.

SMILES: C1=CC(=CC=C1CN)C(=O)O.

UNSPSC 51131813 Aminomethylbenzoic acid is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, issued June 16, 2026 — shows a clear mismatch between the code's chemical-product scope and the actual solicitation content. Aminomethylbenzoic acid is an organic compound with industrial and pharmaceutical applications, but the law enforcement equipment solicitation addresses equipment procurement broadly, not specialized chemical products. The code does not reflect active, aligned state and local buying patterns; sourcing professionals should verify that this code assignment is accurate before pursuing activity under it.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Proposals were due June 16, 2026 through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The cooperative structure makes the resulting contract available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. No specific dollar values, set-aside designations, or technology requirements appear in the available documentation. Given the evident code-to-solicitation mismatch, business development professionals should confirm the accuracy of the UNSPSC assignment and assess whether aminomethylbenzoic acid is actually a line item within a broader law enforcement equipment framework, or whether this represents a tagging error in the state and local procurement system.
