UNSPSC 51192008: Febuxostat

This classification denotes a xanthine oxidase inhibitor and uricosuric agent with the molecular formula C16H16N2O3S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 101V0R1N2E, chemically known as 5-thiazolecarboxylic acid, 2-(3-cyano-4-(2-methylpropoxy)phenyl)-4-methyl- but generally known as febuxostat, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 134018. European Medicines Agency schedules Febuxostat in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB25382.

UNSPSC 51192008 Febuxostat (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source — a District Attorney's Office dog procurement by Washington County, Oregon; athletic training services for Tucson Fire and Police; and medical aid supplies for Tampa Fire Rescue — are unrelated to febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to treat gout and hyperuricemia. The mismatch suggests either a data-quality issue in the underlying solicitation records or a systemic tagging problem in the state and local procurement platforms that host them. No issuing bodies, geographic concentrations, or representative febuxostat-specific opportunities can be identified from the source material.

Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the current opportunity record as unreliable for demand forecasting or pursuit decisions. Febuxostat procurement, if it occurs in state and local government at all, is likely tagged incorrectly in public-facing databases or channeled through cooperative purchasing vehicles, group purchasing organizations, or standing healthcare supply agreements that do not surface as discrete RFP or ITB notices. Direct outreach to state Medicaid pharmacy procurement offices, county health departments, and large municipal healthcare systems may yield better market intelligence than monitoring this code's solicitation feed.
