UNSPSC 51392220: Detomidine hydrochloride

This classification denotes an alpha-adrenergic agonist with the molecular formula C12H14N2.ClH, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 95K4LKB6QE, chemically known as 4-((2,3-dimethylphenyl)methyl)-1h-imidazole hydrochloride but more generally known as detomidine hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 56031. European Medicines Agency schedules Detomidine hydrochloride for veterinary use in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11892MIG.

UNSPSC 51392220 Detomidine hydrochloride is a Commodity code that nominally names a veterinary sedative, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a mismatch with the code's pharmaceutical scope. The single recent opportunity in the block—Seminole County, Florida's IFB 60459723LAS—solicits Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems for community health support, not detomidine hydrochloride. Naloxone is an opioid overdose reversal agent used in emergency medical and public health contexts, a fundamentally different product and use case than veterinary sedation. The Seminole County procurement is structured as a competitive bid with annual delivery of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems on a quarterly basis, with an initial two-year contract term and one-year renewal option, but this opportunity does not reflect the code's stated commodity.

The code shows minimal recent activity, with only one recorded opportunity. Seminole County, a Florida county government, is the sole issuing body in the recent record. The Seminole County IFB closed on July 26, 2023, requiring electronic submission through the county's e-Procurement Portal, E-Verify compliance, and drug-free workplace certification. The procurement carries potential FEMA funding and includes federal environmental compliance requirements. Given the single opportunity and its apparent classification mismatch—a public health supply tagged under a veterinary pharmaceutical code—the code does not currently signal active state and local procurement for detomidine hydrochloride itself. Vendors tracking pharmaceutical procurement for state and local health departments should verify whether their actual products align with how issuers are coding their solicitations in this category.
