UNSPSC 51241216: Pyrithione zinc

This classification denotes an antifungal agent with the molecular formula 2C5H4NOS.Zn, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier R953O2RHZ5, chemically known as 2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide, zinc salt but generally known as pyrithione zinc, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 26041. European Medicines Agency schedules Pyrithione zinc in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB10172MIG.

UNSPSC 51241216 Pyrithione zinc, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity among state and local buyers. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code—liquid aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment (City of Austin, IFB 2200 CSH1061, due August 25, 2026) and medical aid supplies for fire rescue (City of Tampa, ITB 25-P-00157, due April 9, 2025)—are unrelated to pyrithione zinc, an antimicrobial and antifungal agent typically specified in personal care, industrial coating, and preservation applications. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or minimal state and local demand for pyrithione zinc as a standalone procurement line item.

Without relevant opportunities in the source record, no characterization of issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative work scope can be drawn. Business development professionals tracking this code should monitor for reclassifications or clarifications from state and local procurement offices, or verify whether pyrithione zinc specifications appear embedded in broader commodity or specialty chemical RFPs rather than as standalone solicitations.
