UNSPSC 51142301: Nalmefene

This classification denotes an opiate antagonist with the molecular formula C21H25NO3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier TOV02TDP9I, chemically known as morphinan-3,14-diol, 17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5-epoxy-6-methylene-, (5.alpha.)- but generally known as nalmefene, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 4422. European Medicines Agency schedules Nalmefene in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09139MIG.

UNSPSC 51142301 Nalmefene is a Commodity-level code that state and local governments use to procure opioid antagonist medications and related drug-management systems for emergency response, public health, and community harm-reduction programs. Recent solicitations show county health departments and school districts buying naloxone units and drug deactivation systems to support overdose-response initiatives and substance-abuse prevention efforts.

Issuing bodies span county health systems and independent school districts. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building, with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option; the response deadline was July 26, 2023. The same code has been applied to school-based procurement—Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted an RFP on April 17, 2026, for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources that includes instructional supplies across 17 CTE program areas, with proposals due June 5, 2026, though this solicitation appears misaligned with the nalmefene code's pharmaceutical scope. A third recent opportunity, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for galvanized steel pallets posted March 13, 2026, with bids due April 3, 2026, also appears outside the code's medication scope. The recent activity suggests the code has limited practical relevance to state and local procurement; the single substantive opportunity—Seminole County's naloxone and drug deactivation system purchase—indicates real demand for overdose-response supplies in Florida, but the broader set of recent records tagged to this code shows significant misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual work being solicited.
