UNSPSC 51393202: Zilpaterol

This classification denotes a bronchodilator, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier S384A1Y12J. European Medicines Agency schedules Zilpaterol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB00158MIG. Zilpaterol generally arises in the molecular formula C14H19N3O2.

UNSPSC 51393202 Zilpaterol is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific veterinary growth promoter; however, recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with that scope. The Seminole County, Florida procurement (IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeks 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually for community health initiatives—a public-health pharmaceutical product unrelated to livestock feed additives. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) addresses a Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative Direct-to-Manufacturer Prescriptions program, seeking vendor capabilities for direct state pharmacy benefit contracting. Neither opportunity involves the cattle-industry pharmaceutical the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity classification.

Issuing bodies using the code are limited to the two opportunities above: a Florida county health department and a state health agency in Texas. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas only, with no additional states represented in the recent record. The Seminole County bid requires quarterly deliveries to a single location in Sanford, Florida, with vendor responsibility for shipping and insurance compliance (workers' compensation, commercial general liability, professional liability), E-Verify authorization, and drug-free workplace certification; the contract term is two years with a one-year renewal option. The Texas RFI represents preliminary market intelligence rather than a binding solicitation and does not yet specify award values, formal evaluation criteria, or procurement timeline. The absence of activity supporting the code's actual commodity definition suggests that either the code has been misapplied by issuing bodies or procurement volume under the true scope is negligible in the state and local market.
