UNSPSC 51283911: Sulfadoxine or sulphadoxine

This classification denotes an antimalarial agent with the molecular formula C12H14N4O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 88463U4SM5, chemically known as 6-(4-aminobenzenesulfonamido)-4,5-dimethoxypyrimidine but generally known as sulfadoxine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 17134. European Medicines Agency schedules Sulfadoxine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB10700MIG.

UNSPSC 51283911 Sulfadoxine or sulphadoxine is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is a specific antimalarial combination pharmaceutical rarely procured by U.S. state and local governments; the recent solicitations instead cover naloxone (an opioid overdose reversal agent), generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products broadly, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and medical and first aid supplies for emergency response. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated pharmaceutical commodity.

The four most recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 span naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida IFB), a Texas HHS exploratory RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription initiatives, a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products with availability across Minnesota and Oregon, and a City of Tampa IFB for medical and first aid supplies designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a $700,000 estimated contract value. Issuing bodies include county health departments, state HHS commissions, cooperative purchasing alliances, and municipal fire rescue divisions. The geographic spread covers Texas, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, and broader multi-state cooperative participation, though the concentration reflects opportunistic tagging rather than systematic procurement under this code's actual commodity definition. Prospective vendors should verify that opportunities are correctly classified before pursuing bids, as the code's nominal scope does not align with the work being solicited.
