UNSPSC 51332904: Nicergoline tartrate

This classification denotes an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent C24H26BrN3O3.C6H10O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier J7P36Z4900, chemically known as ergoline-8-methanol, 10-methoxy-1,6-dimethyl-, 5-bromo-3-pyridinecarboxylate (ester), (8.beta.)-, (2r,3r)-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (salt), but more generally known as nicergoline tartrate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 134961.

UNSPSC 51332904 Nicergoline tartrate is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement nominally covers a pharmaceutical ingredient used in cerebral vasodilator formulations, but the recent opportunity record shows a significant mismatch — Seminole County, Florida's posted solicitation (IFB 60459723LAS) is for naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems, products unrelated to nicergoline tartrate. The county is seeking to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems on an annual basis to support community health initiatives, with quarterly deliveries required to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. This code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its actual commodity scope.

The single recent opportunity under the code — Seminole County's IFB with a due date of July 26, 2023 — is tagged to the wrong UNSPSC category and does not represent typical buying patterns for nicergoline tartrate or related pharmaceutical ingredients in state and local procurement. Geographic activity cannot be characterized from a single misaligned solicitation. Bidders on the Seminole County contract are required to submit proposals electronically through the county's e-Procurement Portal, include all shipping and delivery costs in their pricing, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and maintain appropriate insurance coverages including workers' compensation and commercial general liability. The contract carries a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option and includes a three-month probationary period.
