UNSPSC 51141501: Acetazolamide

This classification denotes a diuretic and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor with the molecular formula C4H6N4O3S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier O3FX965V0I, chemically known as 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide, 5-acetamido- but generally known as acetazolamide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 1986. Acetazolamide comes in many forms, including adipate ethyl ester, methyl, sodium, and tri-methyl.

UNSPSC 51141501 Acetazolamide is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the pharmaceutical product itself. The one posted opportunity—Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS, issued June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023—solicits naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems for community health initiatives, not acetazolamide. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code is being used to classify a broader family of pharmaceutical and medical-device purchases. State and local health departments and county public health agencies appear to be the primary issuing bodies when opportunities do surface under this classification, though current evidence remains limited.

The geographic spread of relevant activity is concentrated in Florida based on the single representative opportunity, insufficient to characterize broader regional patterns. Seminole County's procurement calls for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems delivered quarterly to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, with an initial two-year contract term and one-year renewal option. The county requires electronic bid submission, E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and standard insurance coverage; the contract includes a three-month probationary termination clause. The procurement may be funded through FEMA, introducing compliance with the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The code currently shows limited recent state and local solicitation activity; vendors pursuing this classification should monitor health department and county RFPs for pharmaceutical and medical-device purchases rather than rely on historical acetazolamide-specific demand signals.
