UNSPSC 51372116: Codeine sulfate

This classification denotes an opiate with the molecular formula 2C18H21NO3.3H2O.H2O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 11QV9BS0CB, chemically known as morphinan-6-ol, 7,8-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-, (5alpha,6alpha)-, sulfate (2:1) (salt) but more generally known as codeine sulfate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5359613. European Medicines Agency schedules Codeine sulfate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01410MIG.

UNSPSC 51372116 Codeine sulfate is a Commodity code that nominally covers pharmaceutical opioid products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with its stated scope. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB in June 2026 for naloxone and drug deactivation systems—emergency-response and harm-reduction supplies that fall outside the codeine sulfate category. The county sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive sealed bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. Bidders were required to provide unit costs, maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace certification. The contract carried a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option and included a three-month probationary termination clause.

The available recent-opportunities record shows a single relevant posting and does not establish a pattern of state or local procurement under the codeine sulfate code. The Seminole County opportunity represents a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy classification and the actual goods being procured—naloxone and deactivation systems are not controlled pharmaceuticals in the codeine family and do not reflect typical state or local buying activity under this Commodity code. Without additional recent opportunities tagged to this code across multiple jurisdictions or states, the code shows limited procurement signal for business development purposes.
