UNSPSC 51342710: Interferon beta-1b

This classification denotes an interferon, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier TTD90R31WZ. European Medicines Agency schedules Interferon alfa-n1 in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12432MIG. As of Q4 2014, INTERFERON BETA-1B remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Interferon beta-1b bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0244714 and NCI Concept Code C2221. SMILES: NONE.

UNSPSC 51342710 Interferon beta-1b (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code represents a specific biopharmaceutical product — interferon beta-1b, typically used in disease management — yet the recent opportunities records tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of interferon beta-1b or related interferons. Instead, the tagged records cover unrelated pharmaceutical products: an Illinois Department of Public Health piggyback award for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride through the MMCAP Infuse consortium, and a Seminole County, Florida procurement for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations indicates either a tagging error or that interferon beta-1b does not drive material state and local procurement volume.

No open state and local solicitations for interferon beta-1b appear in the recent opportunities block. The Illinois award to Chartwell Rx LLC (completed August 28, 2026, for $2,999,999.11 over three years with renewal options) and the Seminole County IFB (posted June 30, 2026, with response deadline July 26, 2023 — a date inconsistency that raises data-quality questions) involve different drug classes entirely. Geographic footprint and issuing-body pattern cannot be reliably inferred from these records. Firms pursuing state and local contracts for interferons or related specialty biologics should monitor procurement channels directly rather than rely on this code's current activity signal.
