UNSPSC 51342502: Alovudine

This classification denotes a reverse transcriptase inhibitor with the molecular formula C10H13FN2O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier PG53R0DWDQ, chemically known as thymidine, 3-deoxy-3-fluoro- but generally known as alovudine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 33039. European Medicines Agency schedules Alovudine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05359MIG.

UNSPSC 51342502 Alovudine, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a single antiretroviral pharmaceutical, but state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no recent acquisitions of alovudine itself. Instead, the recent solicitations center on naloxone and drug deactivation systems, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through cooperative purchasing, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs — none of which involve alovudine as a specified product line.

The geographic and issuing-body data drawn from these tagged opportunities span Florida (Seminole County), Texas (HHS Commission), Minnesota (MMCAP cooperative, serving multiple states including Oregon), and Florida again (City of Tampa), with activity across county health departments, state pharmacy and HHS agencies, and municipal fire departments. However, the absence of alovudine-specific solicitations in the recent-opportunities block signals minimal to no current state and local demand under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope and the actual products being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or a gap in the market for this specific therapeutic. Firms tracking state and local pharmaceutical procurement should monitor higher-level Family and Class codes for generic and OTC pharmaceuticals rather than pursue opportunities under this narrowly defined Commodity code.
