UNSPSC 51142512: Tropacine

This classification denotes an antiparkinsonian agent with the molecular formula C22H25NO2, chemically known as 2-[3-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-yl)phenyl]-2-phenylacetic acid but generally known as tropacine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 197078. European Medicines Agency schedules Tropacine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB15624MIG. As of Q4 2014, TROPACINE remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. SMILES: CN1C2CCC1CC(C2)C3=CC(=CC=C3)C(C4=CC=CC=C4)C(=O)O.

UNSPSC 51142512 Tropacine (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code address naloxone procurement, therapeutic pharmacy initiatives, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals — none of which relate to tropacine, a topical ophthalmic anesthetic. The source shows no recent state or local solicitations for tropacine itself, indicating minimal or no current demand under this specific code designation.

The three opportunities on record involve different issuing bodies and procurement mechanisms but reflect pharmacy and pharmaceutical supply activity broadly: Seminole County, Florida solicited naloxone and drug deactivation systems through a competitive IFB (due July 26, 2023); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an RFI exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) posted an RFP for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon (due March 26, 2026). The code shows no clear geographic or issuing-body concentration — activity spans county health departments, state HHS commissions, and cooperative purchasing vehicles — and the mismatch between the stated commodity (tropacine) and the actual procurement scope suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or that tropacine procurement does not currently drive state and local competitive solicitations. Firms tracking this code for active opportunities should verify the correct UNSPSC classification if tropacine is the target product, as recent activity does not support procurement under 51142512.
