UNSPSC 51342706: Interferon alfa-2b

This classification denotes an interferon, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 43K1W2T1M6, also known as human leucocyte clone pm21 protein moiety reduced. European Medicines Agency schedules Interferon alfa-2a in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12521MIG. As of Q4 2014, INTERFERON ALFA-2B remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. SMILES: NONE.

UNSPSC 51342706 Interferon alfa-2b is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with its nominal pharmaceutical scope. The code has recorded minimal relevant activity — a single naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement from Seminole County, Florida, which targets opioid-response supplies rather than interferon products. The remaining opportunities in the record are broader pharmaceutical contracting vehicles (a Texas HHS Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative RFI, a Tampa Fire Department medical and first aid supplies IFB, and a Minnesota cooperative purchasing agreement for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products) that do not target interferon alfa-2b specifically. State and local buyers have not recently solicited this code as a distinct commodity line.

The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the actual procurement activity suggests that interferon alfa-2b may not be a material purchase category for state and local health systems, fire departments, or emergency response programs at present. Buyers appear to be aggregating broader pharmaceutical procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as MMCAP) or bundled medical supply solicitations rather than requesting interferon products by NDC or therapeutic class. If your firm supplies interferon alfa-2b to state or local health agencies, monitoring cooperative purchasing RFPs and state pharmacy benefit program procurements for inclusion opportunities may be more productive than tracking this specific code.
