UNSPSC 51313001: Azelastine

This classification denotes a histamine-1 receptor antagonist with the molecular formula C22H24ClN3O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier ZQI909440X, chemically known as 1(2h)-phthalazinone, 4-((4-chlorophenyl)methyl)-2-(hexahydro-1-methyl-1h-azepin-4-yl)- but generally known as azelastine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2267. Azelastine most often comes in base and hydrochloride forms.

UNSPSC 51313001 Azelastine, a Commodity code, nominally addresses pharmaceutical products in the antihistamine family, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's formal scope. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB in June 2026 for naloxone and drug deactivation systems — opioid-overdose response and harm-reduction equipment — not azelastine or related antihistamines. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the county's procurement system or a deliberate use of the code to capture a broader pharmaceutical and medical-device category than the code's name implies. State and local governments procure these products to support community health and emergency-response initiatives, with quarterly delivery schedules and fixed-price contracts spanning two-year initial terms with renewal options. Vendors must meet standard compliance requirements including E-Verify authorization, drug-free workplace certification, and appropriate insurance coverage.

The source provides only one recent opportunity with geographic detail: Seminole County, Florida's IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually with deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The posting date of June 30, 2026 and the due date of July 26, 2023 appear inconsistent in the source record, creating uncertainty about the true timeline. Beyond this single county procurement, the source does not identify other issuing bodies, additional states, or geographic concentration in the code's recent activity. The sparse opportunity record and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggest limited current relevance of this code for business development purposes under state and local procurement activity.
