UNSPSC 51272500: Anaesthetic hydrocarbons, halogenated

Anaesthetics based on organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms, but also contain one or more halogen atoms, such as from bromine, chlorine, fluorine, or iodine, or combinations thereof, in extremis, structures such as dibromotrifluoromonochloroethane or di-BROMO-tri-FLUORO-mono-CHLORO-ethane.

UNSPSC 51272500 Anaesthetic hydrocarbons, halogenated is a Class code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes specialized chemical compounds used in anesthesia, yet the three recent opportunities tagged to it involve naloxone acquisition, therapeutic pharmacy initiative planning, and generic pharmaceutical distribution — none of which align with the anesthetic hydrocarbon scope. State and local purchasing under this code, if it occurs at all, does not surface in current market activity; the posted opportunities reflect a tagging mismatch rather than genuine demand for halogenated anesthetic compounds.

The recent opportunities instead point to broader pharmaceutical and drug-management procurement across state health agencies and county health departments. Seminole County, Florida solicited naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems through an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) due July 26, 2023, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an RFI (HHS0017013) in April 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager channels. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, posted an RFP (S1070000015802) due March 26, 2026, to establish multi-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon through authorized wholesalers. Activity centers in Florida, Texas, and the Upper Midwest, with issuing bodies spanning county health departments and state pharmacy or human services agencies. The code shows no active, well-matched procurement opportunities suitable for vendors in anesthetic compound supply.
