UNSPSC 51373301: Acetaminophen/dihydrocodeine/salicylamide

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF) which falls under VA Drug Class CN101. This VA Drug Class (CN101) classifies this compound as belonging to the group OPIOID ANALGESICS.

The first component of this combination drug is an analgesic and antipyretic with the molecular formula C8H9NO2, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 362O9ITL9D, chemically known as n-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide but more generally known as acetaminophen, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 1983. Acetaminophen comes in many forms, including base, acetate, cysteine, cysteinylglycine, di-methyl derivative, glucuronide, glutathione, hemisuccinate, mercapturate, and sulfate.

UNSPSC 51373301 Acetaminophen/dihydrocodeine/salicylamide is a Commodity code for pharmaceutical compounds, but the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it does not align with the code's nominal scope. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) seeking procurement of naloxone and drug deactivation systems — opioid-reversal medications and harm-reduction equipment — rather than the acetaminophen-based combination product the code names. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error or a broader pharmaceutical-procurement categorization in Seminole County's system that does not map cleanly to the UNSPSC taxonomy. The code shows minimal recent activity under its literal definition among state and local buyers.

Without additional opportunities posted under UNSPSC 51373301, geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns cannot be reliably characterized. The single visible solicitation originated from a Florida county health procurement function, but one opportunity is insufficient to establish purchasing patterns or identify repeat buyers. Business development professionals pursuing pharmaceutical-supply contracts with state and local governments should verify the actual UNSPSC codes used by target jurisdictions' procurement systems, as pharmaceutical taxonomy may not track uniformly across state and local databases.
