UNSPSC 51162644: Nicodicodine

This classification denotes an antitussive agent with the molecular formula C24H26N2O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier (SRS UNII) 04G0T06UGT, chemically known as morphinan-6-ol, 4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-, 3-pyridinecarboxylate (ester), (5.alpha.,6.alpha.)- but more generally known as nicodicodine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 522741. European Medicines Agency schedules Nicodicodine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09235MIG.

UNSPSC 51162644 Nicodicodine, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve naloxone (an opioid antagonist used for overdose reversal), safe drug deactivation systems, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products — none of which are nicodicodine, a controlled opioid analgesic no longer in common clinical use. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the product it nominally describes.

The two posted opportunities reflect procurement patterns for public health and pharmaceutical supply chain work. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to its Community Health Building, with E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification required. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, requiring cGMP certification and Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance, with wholesaler distribution through AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code may be incorrectly applied by issuing bodies, or the source data reflects a classification error.
