UNSPSC 51392214: Tizanidine

This classification denotes an alpha-adrenergic agonist with the molecular formula C9H8ClN5S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 6AI06C00GW, chemically known as 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 5-chloro-4-(2-imidazolin-2-ylamino)- but generally known as tizanidine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5487. European Medicines Agency schedules Tizanidine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11129MIG.

UNSPSC 51392214 Tizanidine, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The code nominally covers a specific muscle relaxant pharmaceutical, but the two recent opportunities tagged to this code procure naloxone (an opioid antagonist), drug deactivation systems, and pharmacy benefit program direct-to-manufacturer contracting services — products and services unrelated to tizanidine. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state or local procurement systems or indexing error in the source data, rendering this code unreliable as an indicator of actual tizanidine procurement demand at the state and local level.

The two visible opportunities show activity by a county health department (Seminole County, Florida) and a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), but neither addresses the pharmaceutical specified in the code's name. Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeks 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive bidding with quarterly deliveries to Sanford, Florida; Texas HHS's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) conducts preliminary market research on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs for its pharmacy benefit initiative. Without recent opportunities that actually procure tizanidine, this code presents no actionable signal for firms pursuing pharmaceutical supply contracts at the state and local level under its nominal scope.
