UNSPSC 51413301: Alprostadil

This classification denotes a prostaglandin analogue with the molecular formula C20H34O5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier F5TD010360, chemically known as 11.alpha., 15.alpha.-dihydroxy-9-oxo-13-trans-prostenoic acid but generally known as alprostadil, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 214. Alprostadil most often comes in alfadex and prostoglandinalfadex and prostoglandin forms.

UNSPSC 51413301 Alprostadil is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical products procured by state and local emergency services and healthcare agencies. The recent solicitation record shows minimal direct activity under this specific code; the City of Tampa's April 2026 bid for Advanced Life Support Medications (IFB 26P00188) does not name alprostadil among the four medication line items requested (labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem). State and local buyers under this code appear to include municipal fire and rescue departments and county emergency medical services that source emergency pharmaceuticals through sealed-bid IFBs. Vendors typically supply individual unit quantities with firm pricing, FOB delivery to the customer location, and contractual warranties covering material defects and shelf life. The Tampa solicitation required nine-month minimum expiration dates from acceptance, ten-day delivery windows, and vendor responsibility for pickup and replacement of expired stock—requirements that likely apply across emergency pharmaceutical procurement at this tier.

The source provides minimal recent activity specifically tied to alprostadil procurement. The Tampa Fire Rescue opportunity (due April 8, 2026, estimated value $40,000) represents the only posted solicitation in the recent-opportunities block and does not include alprostadil as a line item, suggesting the code sees limited standalone activity or that emergency-service medication procurement is often bundled under broader pharmaceutical or medical-supply classes. Geographic concentration is not discernible from a single opportunity. The Tampa bid was eligible for Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000, featured a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals plus three unilateral 30-day extensions, and required vendors to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility and OSHA Hazard Communication Standards compliance—compliance drivers relevant to any pharmaceutical solicitation under this code.
