UNSPSC 51386204: Diacerein

This classification denotes a log with the molecular formula C19H12O8, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 4HU6J11EL5. European Medicines Agency schedules diacerein in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07060MIG. The term DIACEREIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see WHO INN reference publication, Volume 38, no. 6, 1984, list 24). DIACEREIN is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix.

Most nations schedule diacerein under HS 29189900 and SITC 51396. As of Q4 2014, DIACEREIN remains the US FDA Preferred Term for this commodity. SMILES: O(C1C2C(C(=O)C3C(C2=O)C(OC(=O)C)CCC3)CC(C1)C(=O)O)C(=O)C.

UNSPSC 51386204 Diacerein, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently tagged under it in state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities show state and local governments procuring naloxone, drug deactivation systems, generic pharmaceuticals, and over-the-counter products — none of which are diacerein, an oral medication for osteoarthritis long discontinued in the United States. The code's nominal scope diverges sharply from what is being bought, suggesting either a data-entry error in opportunity tagging or a dormant code that should not be relied upon for market intelligence.

The three recent opportunities span health and human services agencies across different procurement mechanisms: Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB for naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems with a response deadline of July 26, 2023; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs with an April 3, 2026 deadline; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued an RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with a March 26, 2026 response deadline, serving state and local government facilities across participating jurisdictions including Oregon. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, with multi-state cooperative purchasing extending reach. Because the code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with its stated product scope, proceed with caution — treat this as a low-signal category for diacerein procurement and verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit.
