UNSPSC 51385611: Sulfosalicylic acid

This classification denotes a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug with the molecular formula C7H6O6S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier L8XED79U3U, chemically known as salicylic acid, sulfo- but generally known as sulfosalicylic acid, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 7322. As of Q4 2014, SULFOSALICYLIC ACID remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. Sulfosalicylic acid bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0075593 and NCI Concept Code C84186. SMILES: C1=CC(=C(C=C1S(=O)(=O)O)C(=O)O)O.

UNSPSC 51385611 Sulfosalicylic acid is a Commodity code for a specific chemical compound used in laboratory and industrial applications. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal product scope — the single recent opportunity does not involve sulfosalicylic acid procurement. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (Invitation for Bid) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, a public health supply category that does not fall within the chemical acid taxonomy. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by the issuing body or that the code does not see consistent procurement activity tied to its intended scope.

No verifiable state and local opportunities for sulfosalicylic acid itself appear in the recent posting record. The Seminole County naloxone solicitation (IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) is the only recent item tagged to this code, and it represents emergency medical and harm-reduction supplies rather than industrial or laboratory chemicals. Without additional opportunities under this code that reflect actual sulfosalicylic acid procurement, the code presents minimal business development signal for chemical suppliers targeting state and local government customers.
