UNSPSC 51171650: Lactitol monohydrate

This classification denotes an artificial sweetener C12H24O11.H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier UH2K6W1Y64, chemically known as d-glucitol, 4-o-.beta.-d-galactopyranosyl-, monohydrate, but more generally known as lactitol monohydrate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3067270. European Medicines Agency schedules Lactitol monohydrate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12097MIG.

Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule lactitol monohydrate under HS 29400000 and SITC 51692. As of Q4 2014, LACTITOL MONOHYDRATE remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Lactitol monohydrate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C2697878 and NCI Concept Code C77137. SMILES: C([C@@H]1[C@@H]([C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H](O1)O[C@H]([C@@H](CO)O)[C@@H]([C@H](CO)O)O)O)O)O)O.O.

UNSPSC 51171650 Lactitol monohydrate is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity mapped to it does not involve lactitol or pharmaceutical-grade excipients — instead, Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department posted an RFP for offender specimen collection and drug testing services, a forensic laboratory operation unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source or a misalignment between the code's chemical-ingredient definition and how the jurisdiction classified the solicitation. State and local governments acquiring lactitol monohydrate would typically do so as a pharmaceutical or food-industry input through small-quantity purchase orders or blanket agreements rather than through formal RFPs; the available record shows no such activity.

Collin County's September 25, 2026 RFP 2026-327 (due July 23, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $600,000) is the only recent opportunity tagged to this code in the source. The county is seeking a vendor to operate two specimen-collection sites in Plano and McKinney, manage an automated testing notification system, and perform immunoassay screening with confirmatory testing (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS) on approximately 25,031 annual tests, with optional oral fluid and hair testing. The contract term runs two years with three optional one-year renewals, funded through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division. The tagging error or jurisdictional classification anomaly makes this code an unreliable signal for manufacturers or distributors of lactitol monohydrate; practitioners should verify the actual commodity classification through direct inquiry to the issuing body before building procurement strategy around this record.
