This classification denotes an anti-inflammatory agent with the molecular formula C25H34O8, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier IHV1VP592V, chemically known as cortisol 21-(hydrogen succinate), but more generally known as hydrocortisone hemisuccinate anhydrous, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 16623. European Medicines Agency schedules hydrocortisone hemisuccinate anhydrous or its base in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08065MIG.

Most nations, for tariff purposes, schedule hydrocortisone hemisuccinate anhydrous under HS 29372100. SMILES: C[C@]12CCC(=O)C=C1CC[C@@H]3[C@@H]2[C@H](C[C@]4([C@H]3CC[C@@]4(C(=O)COC(=O)CCC(=O)O)O)C)O.

UNSPSC 51422430 Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate anhydrous is a Commodity code that covers pharmaceutical products and related medical supplies procured by state and local health agencies. However, the code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent solicitation activity: the most recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code involves naloxone and drug deactivation systems, which fall outside the pharmaceutical manufacturing and active pharmaceutical ingredient categories that the code name suggests. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for emergency medical supplies and harm-reduction materials sourced through competitive bidding. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments and community health initiatives focused on opioid response and public health emergency preparedness.

Seminole County, Florida posted the most recent relevant opportunity—IFB 60459723LAS, released June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2026—seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive sealed bidding. Quarterly deliveries are required to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, with all shipping and delivery costs to be included in vendor proposals. Bidders must comply with drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify requirements, and various insurance coverages including workers' compensation and commercial general liability; the contract carries an initial two-year term with an option for one-year renewal. The procurement introduces potential FEMA funding, which adds federal compliance layers including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Because recent activity under this code does not track hydrocortisone hemisuccinate or related active pharmaceutical ingredients but instead reflects emergency medical supply procurement, the code appears underutilized or misapplied for its stated purpose in current state and local solicitations.
