UNSPSC 51422321: Alclometasone dipropionate

This classification denotes a therapeutic glucocorticoid with the molecular formula C28H37ClO7, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier S56PQL4N1V, chemically known as pregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione, 7-chloro-11-hydroxy-16-methyl-17,21-bis(1-oxopropoxy)-, (7.alpha.,11.beta.,16.alpha.)- but more generally known as alclometasone dipropionate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2085. The base compound, Alclometasone, comes in forms base and dipropionate.

UNSPSC 51422321 Alclometasone dipropionate is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical and medicinal products procured by state and local health agencies, though recent opportunities show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation activity. The code is being used to tag health-related product procurements that extend well beyond the specific topical corticosteroid named in the code—most notably naloxone, drug deactivation systems, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment programs. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county health departments and state health and human services commissions, typically for community health initiatives, emergency response supplies, and pharmacy benefit program modernization efforts.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Texas based on recent postings. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries, requiring electronic bid submission by July 26, 2023, with an initial two-year term and one-year renewal option. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026 to gather vendor capabilities for a Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative Direct-to-Manufacturer Prescriptions program, seeking information on direct contracting capacity with self-insured employers and health plans outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager and group purchasing organization channels. The Seminole County opportunity specifies fixed-fee pricing and potential FEMA funding with compliance requirements under the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act; the Texas RFI functions as exploratory market intelligence rather than a formal competitive solicitation with binding timelines or award values.
