UNSPSC 51342714: Peginterferon alfa-2a

Peginterferon alfa-2a is a form of recombinant interferon used alone or with other medicines to treat chronic hepatitis C.

UNSPSC 51342714 Peginterferon alfa-2a is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span pharmaceutical distribution services, EMS drug-dosage calculation software, forensic drug standards procurement, naloxone distribution, and aquatic facility operations—none of which represent peginterferon alfa-2a procurement or administration. The code appears to be a labeling error or system misclassification in the underlying procurement records rather than an active category for substantive state and local contracting activity.

The source contains no recent state and local solicitations for peginterferon alfa-2a, interferon-based therapeutics, or related pharmaceutical products. Of the fourteen records tagged to this code, only three address pharmaceutical procurement directly: the Dane County RFP for long-term care pharmacy services, the Tucson Fire Department RFP for BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals and supplies, and the West Texas Centers RFP for prescription and pharmacy services covering psychiatric medications across multiple service sites. These solicitations target pharmaceutical distribution, inventory management, and dispensing infrastructure—not the manufacture, supply, or administration of peginterferon alfa-2a. The remaining records concern drug-dosage calculation software (Collier County), naloxone distribution (Seminole County, Washington County), forensic drug standards (Pinellas County), and unrelated municipal services. Do not pursue pharmaceutical contracting under this UNSPSC code without first confirming accurate code assignment with the issuing jurisdiction.
