UNSPSC 51372003: Buprenorphine

This classification denotes an opioid receptor agonist and opioid with the molecular formula C29H41NO4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 40D3SCR4GZ, chemically known as 6,14-ethenomorphinan-7-methanol, 17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-alpha-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4,5-epoxy-18,19-dihydro-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-alpha-methyl-, (5-alpha,7-alpha-(s))- but generally known as buprenorphine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 40400. Buprenorphine most often comes in base and hydrochloride forms.

UNSPSC 51372003 Buprenorphine is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health agencies, though the recent solicitation activity under this code reflects broader opioid-crisis response and public health initiatives rather than buprenorphine itself. State and local governments use this code to acquire controlled pharmaceutical substances and related medical countermeasures—including naloxone (Narcan), drug deactivation systems, and other emergency medications—to support community health programs, overdose prevention, and substance-abuse mitigation. The issuing bodies are typically county health departments and regional community health authorities responsible for emergency preparedness and public health service delivery.

Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (Solicitation Number IFB60459723LAS) in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The response deadline was July 26, 2023 (note: the posting date of June 30, 2026 and the due date of July 26, 2023 are incongruent in the source; the IFB notice itself controls). Vendors must submit bids through the county's e-Procurement Portal, include all shipping and delivery costs in their pricing, maintain required insurance coverages, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and meet federal compliance standards if FEMA funding is involved. The initial contract term is two years with a one-year renewal option. Recent opportunities under this code are sparse; the Seminole County naloxone procurement is the only active record. Activity appears concentrated in Florida, though the limited opportunity set does not support broad geographic characterization.
