UNSPSC 51313704: Ketotifen

This classification denotes a histamine-1 receptor antagonist with the molecular formula C19H19NOS, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier X49220T18G, chemically known as 4,9-dihydro-4-(1-methyl-4-piperidinylidene)-10h-benzo(4,5)cyclohepta(1,2-b)thiophen-10-one but generally known as ketotifen, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3827. European Medicines Agency schedules Ketotifen in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08377MIG.

UNSPSC 51313704 Ketotifen is a Commodity code that in practice covers pharmaceutical antihistamines and related allergy medications procured by state and local health agencies. The code's nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity available; the single recent opportunity on record tags Seminole County, Florida's procurement of naloxone and drug deactivation systems under this Ketotifen code, though naloxone (an opioid antagonist) falls outside the ketotifen family. State and local governments use codes in this tier to acquire pharmaceutical products for public health programs, emergency response, and community health initiatives, though misclassification in source databases can obscure the true scope of buying activity under a given code.

Seminole County, Florida released an Invitation for Bid (IFB 60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, and quarterly deliveries required to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The contract includes a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option and carries potential FEMA funding. The available data supports no other recent opportunities tagged to this code, and the single record reflects a likely data-quality issue rather than representative activity under the ketotifen commodity code itself. Geographic and issuing-body characterization cannot be drawn from a single opportunity record, particularly one flagged for scope misalignment.
