UNSPSC 51201576: Tofacitinib

Tofacitinib is an immunosuppressant (a medicine that reduces the activity of the immune system) that works by blocking the action of enzymes known as Janus kinases and used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis.

UNSPSC 51201576 Tofacitinib, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. Tofacitinib is a prescription immunosuppressant pharmaceutical used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and other inflammatory conditions; state and local governments do not typically procure branded pharmaceuticals directly under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code are unrelated to tofacitinib or any specific pharmaceutical procurement: the Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice is administrative only, and the remaining records—naloxone and drug deactivation systems, EMS pharmaceuticals and supplies, opioid settlement grant processes, forensic drug standards, clinic wellness services, and various vendor networking events—do not address tofacitinib or branded prescription drug procurement. The code sees no active state or local solicitations for this product.

State and local pharmaceutical procurement typically occurs through cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as MMCAP for generic multi-source drugs and OTC products), health plan formularies administered by counties and municipalities, or Medicaid managed-care arrangements rather than through direct purchase of branded therapeutics like tofacitinib under commodity codes. School districts, transit authorities, and county health departments that do procure pharmaceuticals focus on generics, OTC items, and emergency medications (naloxone, oxygen) distributed through authorized wholesalers. Tofacitinib procurement, when it occurs in the public sector, is typically embedded in pharmacy benefit programs, health insurance contracts, or Medicaid rebate agreements negotiated at the state level, not sourced as a standalone commodity. Based on the available recent opportunities data, this code does not represent an active or pursue-worthy procurement category for state and local vendors.
