UNSPSC 51373313: Acetaminophen/meperidine

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 51373313 Acetaminophen/meperidine is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS — solicits naloxone and drug deactivation systems, which fall outside the acetaminophen and meperidine pharmaceutical scope the code nominally covers. State and local governments procuring under this code would typically buy pharmaceutical products for public health, emergency services, and institutional healthcare settings, but the recent record does not support material activity in acetaminophen or meperidine procurement at the state and local level.

Seminole County, Florida posted the only recent opportunity in the source on June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: the date appears inconsistent in the source). The county sought 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 contract carried a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option and required E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and standard commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Because the recent activity shown does not reflect procurement of the code's nominal pharmaceutical products, the code appears inactive for acetaminophen and meperidine procurement in the state and local market.
