UNSPSC 51282952: Decoquinate

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic with the molecular formula C24H35NO5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 534I52PVWH, chemically known as 3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 6-(decyloxy)-7-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-, ethyl ester but more generally known as decoquinate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 29112. European Medicines Agency schedules Decoquinate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06938MIG.

The term DECOQUINATE is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see World Health Organization INN reference publication, Volume 23, No. 10 1969, List 9). DECOQUINATE is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix. SMILES: O(CCCCCCCCCC)C1C(OCC)CC2[NH]CC(C(=O)C2C1)C(=O)OCC.

UNSPSC 51282952 Decoquinate is a Commodity code nominally referencing a coccidiostat feed additive, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little relevance to that specific product. The opportunities listed—naloxone distribution, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue, and multi-source pharmaceutical procurement through cooperative purchasing—represent health-system and emergency-response supply categories that do not align with decoquinate's actual use as a livestock or poultry feed ingredient. The code's recent procurement activity reflects a tagging mismatch rather than genuine demand for the nominal commodity.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing consortia (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving multiple states including Oregon). Geographic spread includes Florida, Texas, and Minnesota–Oregon. Recent representative opportunities include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026; response deadline July 26, 2023) for annual naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement with quarterly deliveries; the City of Tampa's sealed-bid solicitation 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026; response deadline March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies to the Tampa Fire Department, estimated at $700,000.00 and designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount; and MMCAP's multi-state RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026; proposal deadline March 26, 2026) for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers with award effective July 1, 2026. The code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with decoquinate itself.
