UNSPSC 51162717: Guaiacol carbonate

This classification denotes an expectorant with the molecular formula C15H14O5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Q71XPQ6R29, chemically known as phenol, 2-methoxy-, carbonate (2:1) (9ci) but more generally known as guaiacol carbonate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 11104. European Medicines Agency schedules Guaiacol carbonate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB14028MIG.

Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule guaiacol carbonate under HS 29095000 and SITC 51617. As of Q4 2014, GUAIACOL CARBONATE remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Guaiacol carbonate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0771805 and NCI Concept Code C76056. SMILES: COC1CCCCC1OC(=O)OC2CCCCC2OC.

UNSPSC 51162717 Guaiacol carbonate is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code—Seminole County, Florida's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026)—involve pharmaceutical procurement but do not represent purchases of guaiacol carbonate specifically. The naloxone solicitation targets emergency-response and community health supplies, while the MMCAP opportunity addresses broad generic pharmaceutical distribution through wholesalers. Neither opportunity identifies guaiacol carbonate as a line item or required product.

Activity under this code remains sparse and appears misaligned with the commodity's chemical specification. Procurement professionals evaluating opportunities here should confirm product scope directly with issuing bodies before pursuing; the recent record suggests the code may be applied inconsistently or that state and local demand for guaiacol carbonate specifically does not generate regular, dedicated solicitations. The two visible opportunities span Florida and Minnesota cooperative purchasing networks, but they do not constitute a reliable basis for forecasting demand or pricing trends for this particular chemical.
