UNSPSC 51421500: Corticosteroid androstadienes

Corticosteroids made from derivatives of the steroid androstane having two double bonds at any site in any of the rings.

UNSPSC 51421500 Corticosteroid androstadienes is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses emergency medical supplies and community health products rather than pharmaceutical compounds matching the code's nominal title. Seminole County, Florida's solicitation for naloxone and drug deactivation systems—issued as IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026—illustrates the practical scope: state and local health departments and public safety agencies use this code to procure naloxone kits, overdose-reversal medications, and associated harm-reduction equipment for emergency response, community health initiatives, and public health programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county health departments and community health authorities responsible for opioid crisis response and substance-use prevention.

The code shows minimal recent activity in the state and local market. The single recent opportunity on record is Seminole County's procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, due July 26, 2023, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The contract includes a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option, E-Verify and drug-free workplace certification requirements, and potential FEMA funding. The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical classification (corticosteroid androstadienes) and the actual goods being procured (naloxone and harm-reduction equipment) suggests this code may be a labeling artifact in state and local systems rather than an active taxonomy match for routine purchasing in this category.
