UNSPSC 51152009: Pancuronium

This classification denotes a muscle relaxant with the molecular formula C35H60N2O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier J76UF062FS, chemically known as 5.alpha.-androstan-3.alpha.,17.beta.-diol, 2.beta., 16.beta.-dipipecolinio-, dibromide, diacetate but generally known as pancuronium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 4675. European Medicines Agency schedules Pancuronium in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB03618MIG.

UNSPSC 51152009 Pancuronium, a Commodity-tier code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers pancuronium, a neuromuscular blocking agent used in anesthesia and critical care, but recent opportunities tagged under this code are pursuing naloxone (an opioid antagonist for overdose reversal), drug deactivation systems, and direct-to-manufacturer pharmaceutical sourcing — none of which relate to pancuronium. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source materials or that the code is being used as a catch-all for pharmaceutical procurement without precision to the specific drug class. State and local buyers using this code include county health departments and state health and human services commissions, but the issuing bodies and work scopes reflect general pharmaceutical procurement rather than pancuronium-specific demand.

Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026 to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for its Community Health Building, with quarterly deliveries and a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a Request for Information (HHS0017013) on April 3, 2026 to gather vendor capabilities on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager and group purchasing organization channels. Neither opportunity represents pancuronium procurement. The code shows recent activity in Florida and Texas but lacks a coherent pattern of actual pancuronium demand at the state and local level; practitioners should verify whether opportunities tagged under this code match their product lines before investing bid preparation resources.
