UNSPSC 51383906: Flunixin meglumine

This classification denotes a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug C14H11F3N2O2.C7H17NO5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 8Y3JK0JW3U, chemically known as 2-(.alpha.(sup 3),.alpha.(sup 3),.alpha.(sup 3)-trifluoro-2,3-xylidino)nicotinic acid compound with 1-deoxy-1-(methylamino)-d-glucitol (1:1), but more generally known as flunixin meglumine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 39212. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule flunixin meglumine under HS 29333999 and SITC 51574.

As of Q4 2014, FLUNIXIN MEGLUMINE remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Flunixin meglumine bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0060503 and NCI Concept Code C76804. SMILES: CC1C(CCCC1NC2C(CCCN2)C(=O)O)C(F)(F)F.CNC[C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H](CO)O)O)O)O.

UNSPSC 51383906 Flunixin meglumine is a Commodity code assigned to a narrow veterinary pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect that scope. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB in June 2026 seeking naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health initiatives—products wholly unrelated to flunixin meglumine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in veterinary medicine. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the county's procurement system or a broader misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this particular jurisdiction categorizes emergency medical supplies and harm-reduction equipment.

The single recent opportunity on record—Seminole County's naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement (IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023)—does not provide a reliable signal for market demand under the flunixin meglumine code. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and investigate whether flunixin meglumine procurement, if it exists at all in the state and local space, flows through alternative UNSPSC classifications or purchasing channels.
