UNSPSC 51191921: Nicorandil

This classification denotes a vasodilating agent with the molecular formula C8H9N3O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 260456HAM0, chemically known as 3-pyridinecarboxamide, n-(2-(nitroxy)ethyl)- but generally known as nicorandil, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 47528. European Medicines Agency schedules Nicorandil in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09244MIG.

UNSPSC 51191921 Nicorandil is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure pharmaceuticals and chemical products, though recent opportunities show the code capturing a broader range of medical supply, chemical treatment, and equipment categories than the nominal product name suggests. The issuing bodies are diverse — county purchasing offices (Broward County, Florida), state correctional health systems (Washington State Department of Corrections), and municipal utilities (City of Meriden, Connecticut) — each buying within their operational scope. Broward County issued a Request for Information on valve parts and repair services for wastewater treatment, framed as a sole-source challenge; the Washington Department of Corrections is soliciting parenteral nutrition solutions, intravenous products, and related healthcare delivery services for eight correctional facilities; and the City of Meriden is bidding sodium bisulfite chemical for municipal water treatment. The work ranges from specialized pharmaceutical compounding and delivery (same-day turnaround on IV solutions for incarcerated patients) to industrial chemical supply (water treatment additives) to equipment repair, suggesting the code captures chemical and pharmaceutical commodities used across health systems, corrections, and infrastructure operations.

Geographic activity spans Florida, Washington, and Connecticut in the recent sample, with no concentration apparent. The Washington Department of Corrections RFQ, issued September 8, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026, is the largest current opportunity — requiring parenteral nutrition and IV supply to three regional facilities with multiple contractor selection and a contract term through June 30, 2030, fixed pricing for the first two years, and explicit small-business, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business goals (25%, 10%, 6%, and 5% respectively). Broward County's Request for Information on DeZurik/APCO valve services (posted September 18, 2026, due September 29, 2026) targets wastewater treatment compliance and includes SCADA-compatible equipment and maintenance. The City of Meriden's sodium bisulfite bid (due July 29, 2026) covers water pollution control chemical supply with standard municipal bonding and insurance requirements.
