UNSPSC 51202801: Pimecrolimus

This classification denotes an immunosuppressant with the molecular formula C43H68ClNO11, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier (SRS UNII) 7KYV510875, chemically known as 15,19-epoxy-3h-pyrido(2,1-c)(1,4)oxaazacyclotricosine-1,7,20,21(4h,23h)-tetrone, 3-(2-(4-chloro-3-methoxycyclohexyl)-1-methylethenyl)-8-ethyl-, 5,6,8,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,26a-hexadecahydro-5,19-dihydroxy-14,16-dimethoxy-4,10,12,18-tetramethyl-, (3s-(3r*(e(1s*,3s*,4r*)),4s*,5r*,8s*,9e,12r*,14r*,15s*,16r*,18s*,19s*,26ar*))- but more generally known as pimecrolimus, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6447131.

UNSPSC 51202801 Pimecrolimus is a Commodity code capturing pharmaceutical products, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little relevance to pimecrolimus specifically. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets—antibiotic products unrelated to pimecrolimus, an immunosuppressant cream. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB in June 2026 for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems, also unrelated to the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement offices appear to tag pharmaceutical purchases broadly under commodity codes that do not always align with the specific drug product named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests limited recent activity in pimecrolimus procurement through state and local channels. The issuing bodies in the recent block (a state health department and a county government) represent the typical mix of public healthcare purchasers, but their actual buys—antibiotics and harm-reduction supplies—fall outside pimecrolimus use cases. Geographic activity in the source is limited to Illinois and Florida. Vendors considering this code should verify whether opportunities are actually being solicited for pimecrolimus or whether the tagging reflects administrative misclassification by procurement offices.
