UNSPSC 51342314: Penciclovir sodium

This classification denotes a purine antagonist and antiviral agent with the molecular formula C10H14N5O3.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier P06226385L, chemically known as 1,9-dihydro-2-amino-9-(4-hydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)butyl)-6h-purin-6-one monosodium salt but more generally known as penciclovir sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 656702. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule penciclovir sodium under HS 29335995 and SITC 51576.

As of Q4 2014, PENCICLOVIR SODIUM remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Penciclovir sodium bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0719742 and NCI Concept Code C47656. SMILES: C1NC2C(=O)[N-]C(NC2N1CCC(CO)CO)N.[NA+].

UNSPSC 51342314 Penciclovir sodium is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single antiviral pharmaceutical product, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the code's specification. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code—an Illinois Department of Public Health piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract awarded to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for antibiotics (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride), and a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems issued in June 2026—do not involve penciclovir sodium procurement. State and local agencies appear to use this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for pharmaceutical acquisitions that fall outside more specific therapeutic or product-class codes, suggesting either broad categorization practices or data-entry misalignment in procurement systems.

Activity under the code shows sparse but geographically dispersed issuing bodies, with the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County representing state health departments and county-level procurement offices. The Illinois contract was a completed award through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing consortium with a three-year total value of $2,999,999.11; Seminole County's IFB sought annual quantities of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems for quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, with an initial two-year term and one-year renewal option. Geographic spread is limited to Florida and Illinois in the recent record. Neither opportunity directly addresses penciclovir sodium itself, indicating that firms pursuing this code should verify actual pharmaceutical product alignment with their own capabilities and monitor whether state and local procurement offices refine their UNSPSC coding practices for antiviral agents.
