UNSPSC 51291701: Venlafaxine

This classification denotes an antidepressant agent with the molecular formula C17H27NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier GRZ5RCB1QG, chemically known as cyclohexanol, 1-(2-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl)-, (+-)- but generally known as venlafaxine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5656. European Medicines Agency schedules Venlafaxine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB00034MIG.

UNSPSC 51291701 Venlafaxine is a Commodity code that nominally describes a prescription antidepressant medication, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not match that scope. The single recorded opportunity—Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026—solicits Naloxone (an opioid overdose reversal agent) and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems, neither of which align with venlafaxine's therapeutic class or intended use. The code shows minimal recent activity relevant to pharmaceutical procurement as commonly understood.

Seminole County's opportunity represents the only documented state or local solicitation under this code in the recent-opportunities block. The county issued an IFB for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida; the response deadline was July 26, 2023. Vendors were required to provide unit costs for each line item, maintain standard insurance coverage, comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements, and assume all shipping and delivery costs. The initial contract term was two years with an optional one-year renewal, and the procurement was potentially funded through FEMA, introducing additional federal compliance obligations including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The disconnect between the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope and the actual goods solicited suggests either a coding error in the state or local procurement system or that this code is not actively used for venlafaxine procurement in recent state and local contracting.
