UNSPSC 51281507: Ethionamide

This classification denotes an antitubercular agent with the molecular formula C8H10N2S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier OAY8ORS3CQ, chemically known as cyclohexanol, 1-ethynyl-, carbamate but generally known as ethionamide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3284. European Medicines Agency schedules Ethionamide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07278MIG.

UNSPSC 51281507 Ethionamide is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health agencies, though recent opportunities tagged to the code do not reflect ethionamide-specific buying. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2.999999 million piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an Invitation for Bid process, with a 12-month initial term and two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida released a competitive bid in June 2026 to procure 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries, a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option, and potential FEMA funding. Neither solicitation addresses ethionamide directly, suggesting the code may see limited activity under its nominal scope or that state and local issuing bodies tag pharmaceutical acquisitions broadly without close commodity alignment.

The recent opportunities show issuing-body activity centered on state health departments and county public health operations. Illinois and Florida represent the geographic concentration in the recent record. The Chartwell Rx contract demonstrates state-level pharmaceutical supply chain consolidation through multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles, while the Seminole County procurement reflects tactical annual purchasing of specific therapeutic products for community health programs. No set-aside designations were identified in the Illinois award; the Seminole County bid required drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, and standard insurance coverage. Response deadlines have passed for both posted opportunities, and no active open solicitations under this code are currently available.
