UNSPSC 51172006: Alibendol

This classification denotes a cholagogue or choleretic agent with the molecular formula C13H17NO4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier A8CO1VZK2Z, chemically known as m-anisamide, 5-allyl-2-hydroxy-n-(2-hydroxyethyl)- (8ci) but generally known as alibendol, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 71916. European Medicines Agency schedules Alibendol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05323MIG.

UNSPSC 51172006 Alibendol, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—a solicitation plainly unrelated to the pharmaceutical product named in the code. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the county's procurement notice rather than active state and local buying of alibendol itself. Without additional opportunities in the source block, no meaningful characterization of actual purchasing patterns, issuing-body mix, or geographic concentration can be drawn.

The Collin County RFP, due July 23, 2026, calls for staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney, operation of an Interactive Voice Response system for randomized testing notifications, immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, and alternative testing methodologies including oral fluid and hair analysis. The contract carries an estimated value of $600,000 over two years with three optional one-year renewals, and vendors must hold lab certification from SAMHSA, TX DPS, or CAP. Award will be made to the responsible contractor whose proposal represents the best evaluated offer on a mix of vendor understanding, firm qualifications, client references, and cost. This opportunity demonstrates Collin County's procurement focus, but does not establish demand or activity patterns for the alibendol commodity itself under this code.
