UNSPSC 51172321: Deferiprone

This classification denotes a cancer tnm vessel invasion finding category with the molecular formula C7H9NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 2BTY8KH53L, chemically known as 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one but generally known as deferiprone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2972. European Medicines Agency schedules Deferiprone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06941MIG.

UNSPSC 51172321 Deferiprone, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The single recent opportunity on record—Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP 2026-327 for offender specimen collection and drug testing services—solicits laboratory testing, staffing, and electronic reporting capabilities entirely unrelated to deferiprone, an iron-chelating pharmaceutical. The county is seeking vendor-operated collection sites, immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, oral fluid and hair testing methodologies, and IVR systems for randomized notifications. Lab certification requirements specify SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP accreditation. The contract carries an estimated value of $600,000 over a two-year base term with three optional one-year renewals, with pricing structured on a per-test basis across three service models: screening only, confirmation after screening, and screening with automatic confirmation of positives.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. Collin County, a Texas county government, is the sole identified recent issuing body under this code, and the RFP scope—drug testing services for criminal justice community supervision—bears no substantive connection to pharmaceutical procurement or deferiprone supply. The mismatch between the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not reflect active state and local demand for deferiprone at this time. Business development professionals should verify whether deferiprone procurement activity exists under a different UNSPSC code or through cooperative purchasing agreements before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
