UNSPSC 51372018: Nalfurafine

This classification denotes an opioid receptor agonist with the molecular formula C28H32N2O5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier XC41AVD567, chemically known as (e)-n-(17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5alpha-epoxy-3,14-dihydroxymorphinan-6beta-yl)-3-(furan-3-yl)-n-methylprop-2-enamide but generally known as nalfurafine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6445230. European Medicines Agency schedules Nalfurafine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB25222.

UNSPSC 51372018 Nalfurafine, a Commodity code, nominally covers pharmaceutical preparations, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with nalfurafine specifically. Seminole County, Florida, the only recent opportunity recorded under this code, solicited naloxone and drug deactivation systems — distinct products outside the nalfurafine scope. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the opportunity posting or a shift in how the jurisdiction applies the code; the work actually being solicited is emergency-response pharmaceuticals and harm-reduction equipment, not the opioid-agonist nalfurafine indicated by the code name.

Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, with response due July 26, 2023, seeks 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The procurement requires electronic submission through the county's e-Procurement Portal, unit pricing for each line item, E-Verify compliance, and standard insurance coverages. The initial contract term runs two years with one-year renewal option, and FEMA funding introduces federal compliance requirements under the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Because the single posted opportunity under this code addresses naloxone and deactivation systems rather than nalfurafine, the code shows limited direct activity in state and local procurement for the pharmaceutical category it nominally represents.
