UNSPSC 51422419: Desoxycorticosterone or desoxycortone

This classification denotes a therapeutic glucocorticoid with the molecular formula C21H30O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 40GP35YQ49, chemically known as 21-hydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione but generally known as deoxycorticosterone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6166. Desoxycorticosterone or desoxycortone bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0011710 and NCI Concept Code C72737. SMILES: CC12CCC3C(C1CCC2C(=O)CO)CCC4=CC(=O)CCC34C.

UNSPSC 51422419 Desoxycorticosterone or desoxycortone is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The two recent opportunities attributed to this code—one for naloxone and drug deactivation systems and another for direct-to-manufacturer prescription program management—fall outside the pharmaceutical active ingredient this code nominally describes. State and local governments show little relevant recent activity under this Commodity code as defined.

The mismatch between code definition and recent solicitation content signals either classification error at the source or a coding practice that maps unrelated pharmacy and public-health procurement into a narrow pharmaceutical-ingredient category. Business development professionals should treat this code with caution and verify actual scope requirements directly against individual RFP or RFQ documentation rather than relying on UNSPSC categorization alone. No clear pattern of repeat buyers, geographic concentration, or representative opportunity set emerges from the recent record for this Commodity code.
