UNSPSC 51172001: Chenodiol or chenodeoxycholic acid or chenodeoxycholic acid sodium salt

This classification denotes a cholagogue or choleretic agent with the molecular formula C24H40O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 0GEI24LG0J, chemically known as cholan-24-oic acid, 3,7-dihydroxy-, (3.alpha.,5.beta.,7.beta.)- but generally known as chenodeoxycholic acid, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5645. European Medicines Agency schedules Chenodeoxycholic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07463MIG.

UNSPSC 51172001 Chenodiol or chenodeoxycholic acid or chenodeoxycholic acid sodium salt is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity does not align with the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services — is a forensic laboratory and criminal-justice staffing contract bearing no substantive relationship to chenodiol or related bile-acid pharmaceuticals. The Collin County solicitation covers staffing of two collection sites, operation of a randomized testing notification system, immunoassay and confirmatory testing (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS), electronic reporting, and ancillary testing methodologies including oral fluid and hair analysis, with no pharmaceutical procurement component.

The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to its stated commodity. Collin County, a Texas county government issuing under this code, is the sole documented recent buyer, and the scope mismatch suggests either a coding error in the county's RFP taxonomy or a data classification anomaly. No geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative pharmaceutical opportunities emerge from the available recent-opportunity record. Vendors pursuing state and local procurement under UNSPSC 51172001 should verify code alignment with individual jurisdiction taxonomies, as the current activity set does not reflect the code's intended product line.
