UNSPSC 51422500: Corticosteroids, synthesized

This classification denotes Corticosteroids composed of multiple constituents, with no dominant constituent.

UNSPSC 51422500 Corticosteroids, synthesized is a Class code that covers pharmaceutical products, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it reflects a significant mismatch: the one documented opportunity solicits naloxone and drug deactivation systems for harm-reduction and community health purposes, not corticosteroid medications. State and local governments under this code designation appear to be procuring emergency response pharmaceuticals and related systems rather than the steroid-class drugs the code nominally describes. The issuing body on record is Seminole County, Florida, a mid-sized county government pursuing competitive procurement for community health initiatives through standard IFB processes with standard compliance requirements including E-Verify, workers' compensation insurance, and drug-free workplace certification.

Seminole County, Florida is the only jurisdiction with documented recent activity. The county posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 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 response deadline was July 26, 2023, at 2:00 pm. The contract carries a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option and includes a three-month probationary period allowing termination with or without cause. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal pharmaceutical scope, and the single posted opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a significant gap between the code definition and current state and local procurement practice under this classification.
