UNSPSC 51342301: Valaciclovir or valacyclovir

This classification denotes a purine antagonist and antiviral agent with the molecular formula C13H20N6O4, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier MZ1IW7Q79D, chemically known as valaciclovir, valtrex but more generally known as valaciclovir, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 60773. The European Medicines Agency schedules Valaciclovir in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB00003MIG.

UNSPSC 51342301 Valaciclovir or valacyclovir is a Commodity code for an antiviral pharmaceutical product, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride—both antibiotics, not antivirals—while Seminole County, Florida released an IFB in June 2026 for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems, which fall outside antiviral pharmaceutical supply entirely. These mismatches suggest the code captures pharmaceutical procurement activity more broadly than its product name indicates, or that tagging inconsistencies have obscured the actual scope of work being bought under this code in recent months.

The issuing bodies in recent activity include a state health department and a county government, both approaching procurement through competitive bidding processes. The Illinois contract, valued at $2.99 million over three years including renewals, was awarded through an IFB to a single vendor. The Seminole County opportunity called for annual volumes of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option. Geographic activity appears limited to Illinois and Florida in the available records. Given the mismatch between the code's stated product and the actual procurements tagged to it, vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the product and service scope in each individual solicitation rather than relying on the UNSPSC name alone.
