UNSPSC 51303201: Basifungin

This classification denotes an antifungal agent with the molecular formula C60H92N8O11, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier VV0USO6I6U, chemically known as valine, 3-hydroxy-n-(n-(n-(n-(1-(n-(n-(n-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxopentyl)-n-methylvalyl)phenylalanyl)-n-methylphenylalanyl)prolyl)alloisoleucyl)-n-methylvalyl)leucyl)-n-methyl-, alpha-1-lactone but generally known as basifungin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 72050.

UNSPSC 51303201 Basifungin is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The single relevant opportunity posted under this code — the City of Austin's IFB 2200 CSH 1061 — actually solicits liquid aluminum sulfate (alum), a chemical coagulant for wastewater treatment, not basifungin (an antifungal pharmaceutical). The second opportunity in the source, Tampa Fire Rescue's medical aid supplies ITB, bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope. State and local governments appear to use UNSPSC 51303201 either inconsistently or infrequently, and the available data does not support a reliable characterization of authentic basifungin procurement activity.

The Austin opportunity — the only potentially relevant recent record — demonstrates that when municipalities do tag chemical procurement under this code, they are purchasing operational inputs for municipal wastewater treatment infrastructure rather than pharmaceutical products. The City of Austin sought 179,200 gallons of NSF-approved, AWWA B403–compliant liquid alum delivered annually to remove soluble phosphorus at the activated sludge stage, with bids due August 25, 2026, and local and small business preferences available. Without additional recent solicitations actually naming basifungin or related antifungal chemicals, the code shows insufficient activity to guide procurement strategy. Firms should verify current UNSPSC coding practice with target jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
