UNSPSC 51303102: Pecilocin or variotin

This classification denotes an antifungal agent with the molecular formula C17H25NO3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier TSA7W27MF8, chemically known as 2-pyrrolidinone, 1-(8-hydroxy-6-methyl-2,4,6-dodecatrienoyl)-, (e,e,e)-(r)- but generally known as pecilocin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5282176. European Medicines Agency schedules Pecilocin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09643MIG.

UNSPSC 51303102 Pecilocin or variotin is a Commodity code that covers pharmaceutical compounds used in medical contexts, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the abstract category name. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted an ITB (Invitation to Bid) in April 2026 for medical aid supplies that included a broad range of first aid and emergency response items—antiseptic sprays, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, pain relievers, bandages, first aid kits, and emergency blankets—rather than the specific pharmaceutical compounds the code nominally describes. This disconnect suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying the code loosely to general medical supply procurement or that the code's practical use diverges significantly from its technical pharmaceutical scope. The solicitation indicates that issuing bodies using this code include municipal fire and rescue departments, at least at the city level, with a total departmental budget of $100,000 for a one-year initial award period with two potential one-year renewals.

The geographic activity is limited to Tampa, Florida based on available recent records. The City of Tampa's ITB (25P00157) closed April 9, 2025, and included specific set-aside provisions for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering bid discounts of up to $10,000 for SLBEs and $20,000 for U-WMBEs. The solicitation required bidders to submit a Letter of Intent within ten work days of bid opening and mandated nine-month minimum expiration dates on all medications from the date of acceptance. Beyond this single Tampa Fire Rescue opportunity, the source supports no other recent state or local procurement activity under this code, suggesting either minimal current market activity or significant underutilization of the UNSPSC classification by state and local procurement offices.
