UNSPSC 51422360: Prednisolone acetate

This classification denotes a therapeutic glucocorticoid, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 8B2807733D. European Medicines Agency schedules Prednisolone acetate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB04014MIG. Prednisolone acetate generally arises in the molecular formula C23H30O6. The term 'prednisolone acetate' is a European Pharmacopoeia designation. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule prednisolone acetate under HS 29372100 and SITC 54153.

As of Q4 2014, PREDNISOLONE ACETATE remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Prednisolone acetate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0071839 and NCI Concept Code C1202. SMILES: CC(=O)OCC(=O)[C@]1(CC[C@@H]2[C@@]1(C[C@@H]([C@H]3[C@H]2CCC4=CC(=O)C=C[C@]34C)O)C)O.

UNSPSC 51422360 Prednisolone acetate, a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific pharmaceutical preparation—and the actual recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is Seminole County, Florida's IFB 60459723LAS, soliciting Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems, which falls outside the prednisolone acetate category. The county is seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually through competitive bidding, with quarterly deliveries required to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. This procurement does not align with prednisolone acetate acquisition and suggests either a coding error in the source system or limited relevant activity under this specific commodity code.

The code shows minimal recent documented activity in state and local procurement. Seminole County remains the only issuing body on record with a posted opportunity, and the single solicitation is for a different product category entirely. Vendors responding to the Seminole County IFB must submit bids by July 26, 2023, include all shipping and delivery costs in their proposals, and comply with drug-free workplace certification and E-Verify requirements. The contract carries a two-year initial term with an optional one-year renewal and is potentially funded through FEMA, which introduces federal compliance requirements including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Without substantive recent opportunities actually aligned to prednisolone acetate procurement, this code presents limited pursuit opportunity at present.
