UNSPSC 51191913: Acitretin

This classification denotes a retinoic acid agent with the molecular formula C21H26O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier LCH760E9T7, chemically known as 2,4,6,8-nonatetraenoic acid, 9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,7-dimethyl-, (all-e)- but generally known as acitretin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5284513. European Medicines Agency schedules Acitretin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05240MIG.

UNSPSC 51191913 Acitretin, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The three most-recent opportunities tagged to this code involve pharmaceutical and chemical supply—parenteral products for correctional healthcare, water-treatment chemicals, and industrial valve components—none of which align with acitretin, a systemic retinoid medication used in dermatology. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific pharmaceutical) and the work actually being bought suggests either tagging error in the source records or that acitretin itself is not the subject of active state and local solicitation at present.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample span a state correctional agency (Washington Department of Corrections), a city public works department (City of Meriden, Connecticut), and a county infrastructure authority (Broward County, Florida). None of these opportunities directly solicit acitretin or dermatological pharmaceuticals. The Washington DOC RFQ for parenteral products, services, and equipment (RFQQK13020, due October 7, 2026) focuses on intravenous nutrition and parenteral solutions for incarcerated individuals; the City of Meriden IFB for sodium bisulfite (B027-15, due July 29, 2026) addresses water-treatment chemicals; and the Broward County RFI on DeZurik/APCO valves and repair services (BLD6232026F23, due September 29, 2026) targets industrial valve supply and maintenance for wastewater facilities. Code 51191913 does not represent a currently active procurement category in the state and local market based on these records.
