UNSPSC 51272205: Tiletamine

This classification denotes an anesthetic agent with the molecular formula C12H17NOS, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 2YFC543249, chemically known as cyclohexanone, 2- (ethylamino)-2-(2-thienyl)-, hydrochloride but generally known as tiletamine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 26533. European Medicines Agency schedules Tiletamine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11050MIG.

UNSPSC 51272205 Tiletamine, a Commodity code, does not map to the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations—naloxone procurement, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals distribution—address opioid-reversal agents, pharmacy benefit management, and broad OTC product supply chains, none of which fall within tiletamine's scope as a veterinary anesthetic. The code shows no recent state and local opportunities aligned to tiletamine as a pharmaceutical product or service.

Issuing bodies across the three tagged opportunities span county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), and multi-state cooperative purchasing consortia (Minnesota MMCAP), indicating that when relevant activity does appear under related pharmaceutical codes, it typically originates from health departments, pharmacy benefit programs, and purchasing cooperatives rather than from individual jurisdictions. The geographic spread of tagged activity extends across Florida, Texas, and the multi-state MMCAP footprint (including Minnesota and Oregon), though this activity does not substantively inform tiletamine procurement patterns. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local contracting purposes and instead monitor closely related pharmaceutical commodity codes where actual health department and pharmacy supply chain activity concentrates.
