UNSPSC 51302901: Ciclopirox

This classification denotes an antifungal agent with the molecular formula C12H17NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 19W019ZDRJ, chemically known as 2(1h)-pyridone, 6-cyclohexyl-1-hydroxy-4-methyl- but generally known as ciclopirox, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2749. European Medicines Agency schedules Ciclopirox in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06245MIG.

UNSPSC 51302901 Ciclopirox is a Commodity code for a topical antifungal active pharmaceutical ingredient, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no purchases of ciclopirox itself. Instead, the two solicitations on record diverge sharply from the code's nominal scope: the City of Austin posted an IFB for liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) used in wastewater treatment to remove phosphorus, and the City of Tampa posted an ITB for general medical aid supplies including bandages, antiseptic sprays, and pain relievers. Neither opportunity involves ciclopirox or pharmaceutical actives matching the code's definition. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope.

The geographic footprint visible in recent postings spans Texas (Austin Water's wastewater treatment procurement) and Florida (Tampa Fire Rescue's medical supplies), with activity concentrated among municipal utilities and fire departments rather than healthcare or pharmaceutical procurement channels. The issuing bodies are city-level departments and agencies. Response dates on record are August 25, 2026 for the Austin alum IFB and April 9, 2025 for the Tampa medical supplies ITB. Absent clear evidence that state and local procurement offices are sourcing ciclopirox as a standalone commodity, this code warrants close monitoring for activity realignment or consideration of alternative codes more closely aligned with actual public-sector pharmaceutical or topical-treatment purchasing.
