UNSPSC 51283007: Pirlimycin hydrochloride

This classification denotes a lincosamide antibiotic with the molecular formula C17H31ClN2O5S.ClH.H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 8S09O559AQ, chemically known as l-threo-.alpha.-d-galacto-octopyranoside, methyl 7-chloro-6,7,8-trideoxy-6-(((4-ethyl-2-piperidinyl)carbonyl)amino)-1-thio-, monohydrochloride, monohydrate, (2s-cis)-, but more generally known as pirlimycin hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 71997.

UNSPSC 51283007 Pirlimycin hydrochloride is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an antibiotic drug substance, but the recent solicitations posted under this tag cover naloxone procurement, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy initiatives, emergency medical supplies, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products—none of which involve pirlimycin hydrochloride as a line item or category focus. State and local purchasing offices appear to have applied this code as a catch-all for pharmaceutical and health supply acquisitions rather than for the specific active ingredient the code names. The work actually being solicited includes naloxone and drug deactivation system units for community health delivery, exploration of direct pharmacy benefit contracting models, emergency response medical consumables for fire rescue operations, and generic pharmaceutical and OTC product supply through cooperative purchasing frameworks.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving multiple states including Oregon). The Minnesota MMCAP cooperative appears as the most recent multi-jurisdictional buyer, with a proposal deadline of March 26, 2026 for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products. Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Texas, and the upper Midwest. The Seminole County IFB (IFB60459723LAS) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems was due July 26, 2023, with quarterly deliveries to the county community health building. The Tampa Fire Department's ITB for medical and first aid supplies (26P00145), due March 13, 2026, carried an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and included a 5% bid discount set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. The Texas HHS RFI (HHS0017013) closed April 3, 2026, and sought vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The mismatch between the nominal code and the actual work being procured suggests limited relevance for vendors seeking pirlimycin hydrochloride business specifically.
