UNSPSC 51391706: Bitolterol

This classification denotes a bronchodilator and beta-adrenergic agonist with the molecular formula C28H31NO5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 9KY0QXD6LI, chemically known as 4-(2-(tert-butylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl-1,2-phenylen di-4-toluat but generally known as bitolterol, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 35330. Bitolterol most often comes in base and mesylate forms. European Medicines Agency schedules Bitolterol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05860MIG.

UNSPSC 51391706 Bitolterol is a Commodity code that covers pharmaceutical and medical products commonly purchased by state and local health agencies and community health systems. However, the recent procurement activity recorded under this code does not align with bitolterol—a bronchodilator medication for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Instead, Seminole County, Florida used this code designation to solicit naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and drug deactivation systems, indicating either a tagging error or a broader application of the code to emergency medical supplies and harm-reduction equipment. State and local governments procure through this code include county health departments and community health systems, though the recent activity is sparse.

Seminole County, Florida posted the sole recent opportunity under this code: an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) released June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually for quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The contract carried an initial two-year term with a one-year renewal option, fixed-fee pricing, E-Verify compliance requirements, and potential FEMA funding with associated federal environmental and procurement compliance obligations. Beyond this single Florida opportunity, the source reveals minimal recent state and local activity under this code, suggesting either light procurement volume or frequent misclassification relative to the stated bitolterol definition.
