UNSPSC 51162734: Pseudoephedrine

This classification denotes an alpha-adrenergic agonist with the molecular formula C10H15NO, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier (SRS UNII) 7CUC9DDI9F, chemically known as 1s,2s-(+)-pseudoephedrine hydrochloride but more generally known as pseudoephedrine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5032. European Medicines Agency schedules Pseudoephedrine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB10157MIG.

UNSPSC 51162734 Pseudoephedrine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers parenteral pharmaceutical products and controlled pharmaceutical supplies for medical and public-health use rather than pseudoephedrine specifically. The Washington State Department of Corrections posted RFQ RFQQK13020 on September 8, 2026, soliciting parenteral nutrition solutions, intravenous solutions, and other parenteral products including controlled substances for delivery to eight correctional facilities across Washington state, with quotes due October 7, 2026. The scope requires 24-hour turnaround for customized nutrition bags and 8-hour delivery for other parenteral inventory. The Seminole County, Florida procurement (IFB 60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026) sought naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health initiatives with quarterly deliveries. Both opportunities target health-system and public-health organizations rather than a single commodity class. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments and county health agencies; DOC explicitly encourages participation from small businesses (25%), minority-owned businesses (10%), women-owned businesses (6%), and veteran-owned businesses (5%) and requires contractors to maintain commercial general liability, professional liability, business automobile liability, and cyber liability coverage with minimum $1 million to $2 million limits.

Recent activity concentrates in Washington state and Florida. The DOC opportunity anticipates awarding multiple contractors (up to three per region across West, Central, and East zones) under an initial contract term running November 26, 2026 through June 30, 2030, with pricing fixed for the first two years. Contractors must hold Washington State business licensure and pass Washington State Patrol NCIC clearance. The Seminole County contract carries a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option and includes a three-month probationary termination clause. Both solicitations impose strict delivery-window requirements and include federal compliance obligations (DOC requires Chapter 39.19 RCW minority and women-owned business utilization; Seminole County notes potential FEMA funding and associated federal environmental and audit compliance). The code shows active state and local procurement in pharmaceutical and controlled-substance distribution for corrections and public health, though the recent opportunities diverge significantly from the code's nominal pseudoephedrine scope.
