UNSPSC 51373007: Pentazocine lactate

This classification denotes an opioid receptor agonist with the molecular formula C19H27NO.C3H6O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 1P2XIB510O, chemically known as 2,6-methano-3-benzazocin-8-ol, 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-6,11-dimethyl-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-, (2alpha,6alpha,11r*)-, compd. with 2-hydroxypropanoic acid (1:1) but more generally known as pentazocine lactate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 66386.

UNSPSC 51373007 Pentazocine lactate is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific opioid pharmaceutical product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch: the only recent opportunity sourced does not involve pentazocine procurement at all. Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 seeking naloxone (a opioid antagonist used for overdose reversal) and safe drug deactivation systems — products outside the pentazocine scope. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error by the issuing body or that the code is being used inconsistently in state and local procurement systems. The Seminole County opportunity itself is a straightforward commodity purchase: 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, responding to community health initiatives.

The geographic activity and issuing-body mix are not actionable from the available data: only one recent opportunity is present in the source, and it comes from a single Florida county. The Seminole County IFB closed on July 26, 2023 (with a posted date of June 30, 2026, indicating a data timestamp irregularity), and required electronic bid submission through the county's e-Procurement Portal with unit pricing, drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, and standard insurance coverages. The contract term runs two years with a one-year renewal option on a fixed-fee basis, with potential FEMA funding and associated federal compliance requirements. Without additional recent opportunities across other jurisdictions, the code does not show meaningful market activity to evaluate for pursuit.
