UNSPSC 51372014: Metopon

This classification denotes an opioid receptor agonist with the molecular formula C18H21NO3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 94XZ1CC69D, chemically known as 4,5-alpha-epoxy-3-hydroxy-5,17-diethylmorphinan-6-one but generally known as metopon, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5359353. European Medicines Agency schedules Metopon in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08909MIG. The term METOPON is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51372014 Metopon is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity tagged under it does not reflect pharmaceutical procurement of the opioid antagonist metopon itself. Instead, Seminole County, Florida has posted an IFB for naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems — a public health supply category distinct from the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the procurement tagging or a jurisdiction's use of this code as a placeholder for opioid-response supplies more broadly. State and local governments buying under this code in practice appear focused on harm-reduction and overdose-prevention equipment rather than pharmaceutical inventory management.

The geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, specifically Seminole County. Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026 with responses due July 26, 2023, seeks 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually via competitive sealed bid, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The contract carries a two-year initial term plus a one-year renewal option, and vendors must cover all shipping and delivery costs, maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance, comply with E-Verify requirements, and meet drug-free workplace certification standards. The procurement does not reference explicit set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises and may be funded through FEMA, which imposes additional federal compliance obligations. The code shows limited recent activity; no other state or local opportunities appear in the source material.
