UNSPSC 51201544: Glucosamine hcl

This classification denotes a nutritional supplement, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 750W5330FY. European Medicines Agency schedules Glucosamine hcl in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB02354MIG. Glucosamine hcl generally arises in the molecular formula C6H13NO5.CLH. The term 'glucosamine hcl' is an International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients designation. SMILES: Cl.OC(C(O)C(N)C=O)C(O)CO.

UNSPSC 51201544 Glucosamine hcl is a Commodity code representing a single pharmaceutical product line. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the code's nominal scope — the three most recent solicitations (as of May 2026) address athletic training services, general medical aid supplies, and pharmacy benefit program strategy rather than glucosamine hydrochloride specifically. The code sees minimal procurement activity aligned with its product definition in the state and local market.

The City of Tucson issued an RFP for athletic training services (Solicitation 260163, due June 9, 2026) and the City of Tampa issued an ITB for medical aid supplies including bandages and first aid items (25P00157, with a due date of April 9, 2025); neither directly solicits glucosamine hcl. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an RFI (HHS0017013, closed April 3, 2026) on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, which addresses procurement strategy but does not target specific pharmaceutical SKUs. The mismatch between the code's product definition and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are either tagging opportunities incorrectly or that glucosamine hcl purchasing occurs at volumes or through mechanisms (such as cooperative purchasing agreements or standing state contracts) that do not generate visible RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether opportunities under it reflect genuine demand for this ingredient or represent data quality issues in the source systems.
