UNSPSC 51191527: Alipamide

This classification denotes a diuretic with the molecular formula C9H12ClN3O3S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier PE8925K9EY, chemically known as 4-chloro-3-sulfamoylbenzoic acid 2,2-dimethylhydrazide but generally known as alipamide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 18520. European Medicines Agency schedules Alipamide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05331MIG.

UNSPSC 51191527 Alipamide, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a specific organic compound but shows recent state and local procurement activity centered on related chemical supplies for water treatment and pharmaceutical distribution rather than alipamide itself. State and local buyers under this code include municipal water utilities procuring treatment chemicals and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances distributing generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products to government health facilities. The work solicited spans chemical supply for water pollution control operations and pharmaceutical procurement and distribution through authorized wholesalers, with vendors expected to maintain compliance certifications such as cGMP and DSCSA, manage relationships with multiple wholesalers, and carry significant liability and network security insurance coverage.

Recent activity shows the City of Meriden, Connecticut issuing an IFB (B027-15) due July 29, 2026 for sodium bisulfite chemical supply to its Water Pollution Control Facility, requiring performance and payment bonds and Connecticut-approved liability coverage. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP (S1070000015802) due March 26, 2026 to establish multi-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local government facilities including Oregon, with awarded vendors to be onboarded by May 15, 2026 and resulting agreements effective July 1, 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, with a single municipal utility in Connecticut and a multistate cooperative spanning Minnesota and Oregon. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (alipamide, a specific chemical) and the actual recent opportunities (unrelated water treatment chemicals and broad pharmaceutical distribution) suggests the code carries limited direct relevance to either solicitation and may reflect administrative tagging rather than substantive category alignment.
