UNSPSC 51272004: Sodium thiopental or thiopental or thiopentone

This classification denotes an anesthetic agent with the molecular formula C11H18N2O2S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier JI8Z5M7NA3, chemically known as 4,6,(1h,5h)-pyrimidinedione, 5-ethyldihydro-5-(1-methylbutyl)-2-thioxo- (9ci) but generally known as thiopental, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3000715. European Medicines Agency schedules Thiopental in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB04816MIG.

World Health Organization schedules thiopental in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification. THIOPENTAL is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix. SMILES: CCCC(C)C1(C(=O)NC(=S)NC1=O)CC.

UNSPSC 51272004 Sodium thiopental or thiopental or thiopentone is a Commodity code that nominally covers barbiturate pharmaceuticals, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitation volume. The single recent opportunity in the dataset—Seminole County, Florida's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems—is unrelated to the code's stated scope; naloxone is an opioid antagonist and drug deactivation systems are medical waste management products, not sodium thiopental or its pharmaceutical variants. State and local governments classify pharmaceutical procurements across a range of UNSPSC codes, and the mismatch here suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code sees limited application in state and local markets.

Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a July 26, 2023 response deadline and quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The procurement required electronic bid submission, unit pricing for each line item, drug-free workplace and E-Verify compliance, and specified insurance coverages; the contract carried a two-year initial term with an optional one-year renewal and was potentially funded through FEMA. Beyond this single off-topic example, the source reports no additional recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code, indicating minimal current procurement activity under UNSPSC 51272004.
