UNSPSC 51294303: Cotinine

This classification denotes a cns stimulant with the molecular formula C10H12N2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier K5161X06LL, chemically known as 2-pyrrolidinone, 1-methyl-5-(3-pyridinyl)-, (s)- (9ci) but generally known as cotinine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 408. European Medicines Agency schedules Cotinine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06811MIG. The term COTININE is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51294303 Cotinine (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code. The three posted solicitations—naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement, a therapeutic pharmacy initiative direct-to-manufacturer RFI, and a generic multi-source pharmaceuticals cooperative purchasing RFP—involve finished pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, and pharmacy benefit program administration, none of which align with cotinine, a nicotine metabolite commonly used in laboratory testing and research contexts. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this Commodity code sees minimal or no active state and local procurement volume under its intended scope.

The recent opportunities do reveal active state and local pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement across health departments, HHS agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026 for naloxone and drug deactivation systems with a July 26, 2023 response deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer prescription capabilities; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) released an RFP on January 20, 2026 for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across multiple states with a March 26, 2026 deadline. Activity spans Florida, Texas, and the multistate cooperative serving Oregon and other jurisdictions. Code 51294303 itself shows no relevant recent activity—business development professionals evaluating this specific commodity should verify the classification with their procurement research team.
