UNSPSC 51332816: Metofenazate

This classification denotes a phenothiazine with the molecular formula C31H36ClN3O5S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 27J5OW8OGT, chemically known as 2-(4-(3-(2-chlorophenothiazin-10-yl)propyl)-1-piperazinyl)ethyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate but generally known as metofenazate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 9800. European Medicines Agency schedules Metofenazate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08903MIG.

UNSPSC 51332816 Metofenazate, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code are for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, a Texas Health and Human Services Commission RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and a Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products — none of which involve metofenazate procurement. The code's taxonomy designation for a specific insecticide does not match the actual buying patterns evident in current state and local solicitations, which focus on broader pharmaceutical supply, naloxone distribution, and pharmacy benefit management strategy rather than specialized chemical pesticides.

The limited recent activity under this code spans three issuing bodies: Seminole County, Florida (a local health department seeking naloxone and drug deactivation systems through an IFB due July 26, 2023), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (issuing an RFI for direct-to-manufacturer prescription capability assessment with a response deadline of April 3, 2026), and MMCAP administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration (soliciting generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through an RFP due March 26, 2026). Geographic representation includes Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, with MMCAP extending to Oregon. Business development professionals should note the significant mismatch between the code's intended scope and current state and local procurement activity — opportunities posted under 51332816 are not buying metofenazate and do not indicate active demand for that commodity within the state and local market at this time.
