UNSPSC 51372036: Morphine sulfate

This classification denotes an opioid analgesic with the molecular formula 2C17H19NO3.5H2O.H2O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier X3P646A2J0, chemically known as 7,8-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-17-methyl-morphinan-3,6-diol but more generally known as morphine sulfate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5288826. European Medicines Agency schedules Morphine sulfate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB14597MIG.

UNSPSC 51372036 Morphine sulfate is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity related to pharmaceutical and controlled-substance procurement, though the recent opportunity record shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement—products unrelated to morphine sulfate—suggesting either a coding error in the county's posting or a broader use of this commodity code for opioid-response and harm-reduction pharmaceutical procurement. The work involves annual bulk purchasing of medical supplies with quarterly delivery requirements, standard pharmaceutical vendor qualifications (drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, insurance coverage), and fixed-fee pricing. The issuing body is a county health department or community health agency operating under state and potentially FEMA oversight, which introduces federal compliance layers such as Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act adherence alongside standard state procurement controls.

The single recent opportunity surfaced in the data comes from Seminole County, Florida, where the IFB 60459723LAS closed on July 26, 2023 (with a posted date of June 30, 2026 that appears inconsistent with the close date, likely a data-entry error in the source). The procurement called for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. No explicit set-aside designations were mentioned; the contract structure included a two-year base term with one-year renewal option and a three-month probationary termination right. Without additional recent opportunities in the source, geographic concentration cannot be characterized beyond Florida, and issuing-body patterns remain unclear. The code shows minimal recent activity relative to what state and local procurement volumes would typically support under a morphine sulfate category.
