UNSPSC 51342303: Desciclovir

This classification denotes a purine antagonist and antiviral agent with the molecular formula C8H11N5O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier BHM1XXA2EZ, chemically known as ethanol, 2-((2-amino-9h-purin-9-yl)methoxy)- but generally known as desciclovir, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 55256. European Medicines Agency schedules Desciclovir in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06990MIG.

UNSPSC 51342303 Desciclovir, a Commodity code, does not show relevant recent activity. The source lists four state and local contract opportunities, but none align with this code's scope: Seminole County's procurement of naloxone and drug deactivation systems targets a different pharmaceutical product line; the Texas HHS Commission's RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescriptions addresses pharmacy benefit management and contracting models rather than desciclovir specifically; the City of Tampa's solicitation for medical and first aid supplies to the Fire Department Rescue Division covers emergency response consumables and equipment; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products is a broad platform contract for pharmaceutical distribution through wholesalers, not desciclovir procurement. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the source or that desciclovir does not command significant state and local demand at present.

No representative opportunities directly soliciting desciclovir or products specifically coded to this commodity were identified in the available state and local procurement records.
