UNSPSC 51191964: Tretinoin tocoferil

This classification denotes a differentiation inducer with the molecular formula C49H76O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier CTD060B1SS, chemically known as (+-)-(2r*)-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2-((4r*,8r*)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)-6-chromanyl retinoate but more generally known as tocoretinate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5282180. European Medicines Agency schedules Tretinoin tocoferil in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11247MIG.

UNSPSC 51191964 Tretinoin tocoferil is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve the procurement of wastewater treatment valves and parts (Broward County, Florida), parenteral nutrition and intravenous products for a correctional health system (Washington State Department of Corrections), and sodium bisulfite chemical supply for water pollution control (City of Meriden, Connecticut). None of these solicitations involve tretinoin tocoferil or pharmaceutical dermatological products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the commodities actually being bought suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this code is rarely or incorrectly applied in state and local procurement workflows.

Issuing bodies across this code's recent activity include a county government (Broward), a state agency with multiple facilities (Washington DOC), and a municipal utility (Meriden). Geographic spread covers Florida, Washington, and Connecticut. The Washington State Department of Corrections RFQ for parenteral products, services, and equipment with responses due October 7, 2026 is the largest recent opportunity, spanning eight correctional facilities across three regions and offering potential multi-year contracts through June 30, 2030 with fixed pricing for the initial two-year term; DOC anticipates awarding up to three contractors per region and encourages small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business participation. The Broward County RFI for DeZurik/APCO valves and repair services (due September 29, 2026) seeks to determine whether alternatives exist to the current sole-source provider for wastewater compliance-critical components. The City of Meriden IFB for sodium bisulfite (due July 29, 2026) is a straightforward chemical supply procurement for municipal water pollution control operations. Given the code-to-commodity mismatch, treat this code as having minimal relevant recent activity.
