UNSPSC 51422336: Dexamethasone dipropionate

This classification denotes a therapeutic glucocorticoid with the molecular formula C28H37FO7, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier K3UKR54YXW, chemically known as 9-fluoro-11beta,17,21-trihydroxy-16alpha-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 17,21-dipropionate but more generally known as dexamethasone dipropionate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 63049. European Medicines Agency schedules Dexamethasone dipropionate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01609MIG.

UNSPSC 51422336 Dexamethasone dipropionate is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect pharmaceutical procurement. Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026 with a response deadline of July 26, 2026, solicits naloxone (an opioid antagonist used in overdose response) and safe drug deactivation systems—products unrelated to dexamethasone dipropionate, a corticosteroid used in topical and systemic treatments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests a tagging error or a broad catch-all categorization practice at the issuing body.

The Seminole County procurement calls for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The IFB structure requires vendors to submit unit costs, include all shipping and delivery charges in their bids, maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements. The contract runs two years with a one-year renewal option and includes a three-month probationary termination period. The source identifies no other recent state and local opportunities under this UNSPSC code, and the single opportunity shown bears no meaningful relationship to dexamethasone dipropionate procurement—a signal that the code may not be actively used for its nominal pharmaceutical commodity or that issuing bodies are applying it inconsistently to public-health supplies more broadly.
