UNSPSC 51283201: Filipin

This classification denotes a macrolide antibiotic with the molecular formula C35H58O11, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier, 87Z59R7D14 chemically known as oxacyclooctacosa-17,19,21,23,25-pentaen-2-one, 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,27-octahydroxy-3-(1-hydroxyhexyl)-17,28-dimethyl- but generally known as filipin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5351457. European Medicines Agency schedules Filipin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07628MIG.

The term FILIPIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN. Most nations schedule filipin under HS 29419000 and SITC 54139. As of Q4 2014, FILIPIN remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. SMILES: OC1C(C(O)CCCCC)C(=O)OC(C(O)C=CC=CC=CC=CC=C(C(O)CC(O)CC(O)CC(O)CC(O)CC(O)C1)C)C.

UNSPSC 51283201 Filipin, a Commodity-tier code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally addresses a specific antifungal compound, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve pharmaceutical products and medical supplies entirely unrelated to filipin — including antibiotic tablets (doxycycline and ciprofloxacin) and opioid-antagonist medications (naloxone) with drug deactivation systems. State and local procurement offices appear to have mislabeled these opportunities within the UNSPSC taxonomy, or filipin serves as a catch-all placeholder for broader pharmaceutical and emergency-response inventory. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The two recorded opportunities span Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a completed contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for pharmaceutical warehouse supply (IFB process, award amount $2,999,999.11 over three years with renewal options). Seminole County, Florida, posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB 60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford; that opportunity closed July 26, 2023, and included potential FEMA funding. Neither solicitation involves filipin or the antifungal compounds the code's name suggests.
