UNSPSC 51281901: Geranylhydroquinone or geroquinol

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic and antineoplastic antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 4155989DN5. European Medicines Agency schedules Geroquinol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07898MIG. Geroquinol generally arises in the molecular formula C16H22O2.

The term GEROQUINOL is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see WHO INN reference publication, Volume 23, no. 10 1969, list 9.) GEROQUINOL is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix. Geranylhydroquinone or geroquinol bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0061232 and NCI Concept Code C72639. SMILES: CC(=CCC/C(=C/CC1=C(C=CC(=C1)O)O)/C)C.

UNSPSC 51281901 Geranylhydroquinone or geroquinol is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a Request for Information in April 2026 tagged to this code, but the solicitation addresses direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs and pharmacy benefit management — not the specialty chemical compound the code nominally describes. State and local procurement of geranylhydroquinone or geroquinol as a standalone product or input material does not appear in the recent opportunities block, suggesting minimal or no active solicitation activity under this code at the state and local level.

The single RFI posted by Texas HHS (RFI No. HHS0017013, due April 3, 2026) was exploratory in nature, designed to gather vendor capabilities and market intelligence rather than solicit the chemical commodity itself. No award value, budget range, set-aside designation, or formal evaluation criteria were specified. The mismatch between the code's chemical scope and the actual pharmaceutical procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not reflect genuine state and local demand for the product at present.
