UNSPSC 51422402: Aldosterone

This classification denotes a mineralocorticoid with the molecular formula C21H28O5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 4964P6T9RB, chemically known as 18-formyl-11beta,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione but generally known as aldosterone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5839. Aldosterone comes in forms 18-glucuronide, 21-sulfate, hemiacetal, and monoacetate. European Medicines Agency schedules Aldosterone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05306MIG.

UNSPSC 51422402 Aldosterone, a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS—solicits naloxone and drug deactivation systems, pharmaceutical products unrelated to aldosterone, a steroid hormone used in clinical diagnostics and research. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring aldosterone through this code tier at present.

Seminole County's July 2026 IFB sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, and a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The procurement included a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option, required E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification, and indicated potential FEMA funding with associated federal compliance obligations. The mismatch between the code's aldosterone designation and the actual products solicited signals either a data-entry error in the state or local procurement system or a categorical misalignment that limits the code's utility for tracking relevant opportunities in this space.
