UNSPSC 51131816: Carbazochrome

This classification denotes a hemostatic agent with the molecular formula C10H12N4O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 81F061RQS4, chemically known as 5,6-indolinedione, 3-hydroxy-1-methyl-, 5-semicarbazone but generally known as carbazochrome, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5360410. Carbazochrome most often comes in base, salicylate, and sodium sulfonate forms. European Medicines Agency schedules Carbazochrome in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB13237MIG.

UNSPSC 51131816 Carbazochrome is a Commodity code that covers a single pharmaceutical compound with hemostatic properties, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect purchases of the drug itself. Instead, the sole recent opportunity — Sourcewell's RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 — seeks law enforcement equipment for cooperative purchasing across multiple jurisdictions. This mismatch suggests the code assignment may be an error in the procurement notice, or carbazochrome is being procured as part of a broader law enforcement or emergency-response equipment package. The nature and scope of what state and local governments actually buy under this specific commodity code remain unclear from available solicitation records.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is administering the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with public entities nationwide and in Canada. Proposals must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by June 16, 2026, 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The resulting contract will support purchasing across governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments. Because the single recent opportunity does not directly address pharmaceutical procurement, no geographic concentration pattern or representative carbazochrome-specific solicitations can be identified from current activity. Vendors should verify whether carbazochrome is a component of the equipment package or whether this code reflects a data-entry issue.
