UNSPSC 51272200: Anaesthetic cycloparaffins

Anaesthetics based on alicyclic hydrocarbons in which three or more of the carbon atoms in each molecule are united in a ring structure and each of the ring carbon atoms is joined to two hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups.

UNSPSC 51272200 Anaesthetic cycloparaffins is a Class code with minimal direct relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes specialized chemical compounds used in anesthesia, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve naloxone kits, drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products—none of which are anaesthetic cycloparaffins. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code has become a catch-all for broader pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement. State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code include county health departments, state health and human services commissions, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances, though the volume is sparse and the actual commodities do not align with the code's nominal scope.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS) in June 2026 for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries, closing July 26, 2023. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI in April 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs and vendor capabilities for implementing therapeutic pharmacy initiatives. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, administering the Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), issued an RFP (S1070000015802) in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract awards effective July 1, 2026. The code shows little sustained activity and the opportunities present do not represent the chemical compounds the code nominally describes.
