UNSPSC 51263133: Penbutolol

This classification denotes a beta-adrenergic blocking agent, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 78W62V43DY. European Medicines Agency schedules Penbutolol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09660MIG. Penbutolol generally arises in the molecular formula C18H29NO2.

UNSPSC 51263133 Penbutolol, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show Seminole County, Florida soliciting naloxone and drug deactivation systems (unrelated to penbutolol, a beta-blocker pharmaceutical), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing a Request for Information on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The code shows little relevant recent activity for penbutolol specifically, and the tagged solicitations appear to reflect a data-classification mismatch rather than genuine demand for this particular drug product.

State and local procurement under pharmaceutical commodity codes generally reflects episodic, localized needs — typically health departments, county jails, emergency management agencies, and social-service departments acquiring specific drugs for community health, overdose prevention, or correctional-facility use. The Seminole County IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) represents typical state and local pharmaceutical procurement: named quantities, quarterly deliveries to a fixed location, standard insurance and compliance requirements, and a two-year initial term with renewal options. The Texas HHS RFI signals early-stage exploration of direct-to-manufacturer relationships rather than active procurement. Geographic activity reflected in the available records is limited to Florida and Texas. Firms pursuing pharmaceutical commodity codes should verify that their specific product and target jurisdictions align with recent solicitation patterns, as mislabeling at intake is common and can obscure genuine procurement demand.
