UNSPSC 51392403: Dopamine

This classification denotes a catecholamine with the molecular formula C8H11NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier VTD58H1Z2X, chemically known as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine but generally known as dopamine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 681. European Medicines Agency schedules Dopamine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06365MIG. The term DOPAMINE is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51392403 Dopamine is a Commodity code that in practice covers pharmaceutical products and related health-supply procurement by state and local health agencies, though the recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. Seminole County, Florida is procuring naloxone and drug deactivation systems through competitive bidding, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is conducting market research on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs — neither of which is dopamine procurement. The issuing bodies are a county health department and a state health agency, representing the kinds of jurisdictions that purchase pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for public health initiatives, though the sample is too small to characterize a broader pattern of issuing-body participation under this code.

The geographic activity identified includes Florida and Texas, with Florida's opportunity showing concrete procurement action (1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually through IFB60459723LAS, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023) and Texas's activity confined to early-stage market research (RFI HHS0017013, closed April 3, 2026). The Seminole County opportunity includes standard state and local procurement compliance requirements — E-Verify, drug-free workplace certification, workers' compensation and liability insurance — and anticipates a two-year initial term with optional one-year renewal. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal dopamine classification, suggesting that practitioners should verify coding accuracy when evaluating opportunities posted under this code or consider whether dopamine-specific procurement at the state and local level is sufficiently active to merit sustained pursuit.
