UNSPSC 51281805: Daunorubicin

This classification denotes an anthracycline antibiotic with the molecular formula C27H29NO10, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier ZS7284E0ZP, chemically known as 5,12-naphthacenedione, 8-acetyl-10-((3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-alpha-l-lyxo-hexopyranosyl)oxy)-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6,8,11-trihydroxy-1-methoxy-, (8s-cis)- but generally known as daunorubicin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 30323.

UNSPSC 51281805 Daunorubicin, a Commodity code, maps nominally to a single chemotherapy agent but shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with that product. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve unrelated pharmaceutical procurements: one is a completed piggyback contract award through a consortium vehicle for common antibiotics (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride), and the other is an active solicitation for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems. Neither opportunity reflects actual Daunorubicin procurement. State and local buyers do source specialty pharmaceuticals and controlled substances, but the recent record under this specific code does not demonstrate active market demand for Daunorubicin itself.

The issuing bodies are scattered across state health departments and counties. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded the antibiotic piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC for $2,999,999.11 over three years through an IFB process, while Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 (with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, indicating a data anomaly in the source) for Naloxone and deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries. Both procurements used competitive bidding and cooperative purchasing vehicles. No set-aside or preference programs were applied to the Illinois award. The code shows activity in Florida and Illinois, but the geographic spread and issuing-body concentration remain unclear given that the opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the product it nominally describes.
