UNSPSC 51171975: Miglustat

This classification denotes a glucosidase inhibitor with the molecular formula C10H21NO4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier ADN3S497AZ, chemically known as 3,4,5-piperidinetriol, 1-butyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-, (2r,3r,4r,5s)- but generally known as miglustat, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 51634. European Medicines Agency schedules Miglustat in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB20049.

UNSPSC 51171975 Miglustat, a Commodity code, maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity under this identifier. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—offender drug testing (Collin County), pharmacy benefit direct-to-manufacturer arrangements (Texas HHS), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance)—do not involve miglustat or specialty pharmaceutical procurement as the code name suggests. Miglustat is a rare-disease therapeutic agent; the opportunities reflect specimen collection services, pharmacy program restructuring, and broad-based generic and OTC product distribution. The code shows little relevant recent activity and the tagging appears to reflect a data classification mismatch rather than substantive procurement demand for miglustat itself under this UNSPSC identifier.

State and local purchasing offices in Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon are the issuing bodies named in the recent records, but none of the solicitations target the specialty pharmaceutical supply chain associated with miglustat. Business development professionals evaluating this code for pharmaceutical strategy should verify whether state and local procurement of specialty drugs operates under a different UNSPSC classification, or whether miglustat demand within state health plans and corrections systems is managed through centralized contracts or cooperative purchasing vehicles not yet reflected in recent open solicitations under this commodity code.
