UNSPSC 51241309: Allantoin ascorbate

This classification denotes an astringent and anti-psoriatic agent with the molecular formula C6H8O6.C4H6N4O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 76WX3J5GER, chemically known as l-ascorbic acid, compd. with n-(2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinyl)urea (1:1), but more generally known as allantoin ascorbate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 171592. European Medicines Agency schedules allantoin ascorbate or its base in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12779MIG.

Most nations, for tariff purposes, schedule allantoin ascorbate under HS 29332100. SMILES: C([C@@H]([C@@H]1C(=C(C(=O)O1)O)O)O)O.C1(C(=O)NC(=O)N1)NC(=O)N.

UNSPSC 51241309 Allantoin ascorbate is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a specific chemical compound used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, but the two recent opportunities posted under this code show no connection to allantoin ascorbate. The City of Austin issued an IFB in July 2026 for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) used in wastewater treatment to remove phosphorus, a water-treatment chemical entirely distinct from the commodity name. The City of Tampa issued an ITB in April 2026 for medical aid supplies including bandages, aspirin, pain relievers, and first aid kits—consumable emergency medical goods unrelated to either allantoin ascorbate or the Austin wastewater chemical. These misclassifications suggest the code sees little relevant recent activity or that state and local purchasing offices are tagging opportunities with inaccurate codes.

Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities posted under it, business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for purposes aligned with the commodity name. The two solicitations are genuine procurement events with firm response dates and specific technical requirements, but they represent water treatment chemicals and emergency medical supplies rather than allantoin ascorbate. Firms specializing in allantoin ascorbate products should monitor this code for corrected or properly classified solicitations rather than pursue the current misclassified opportunities.
