UNSPSC 51422508: Halocortolone

This classification denotes a therapeutic glucocorticoid with the molecular formula C22H27ClF2O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Z9TL048W82, chemically known as 9-chloro-6alpha,11beta-difluoro-21-hydroxy-16alpha-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione but generally known as halocortolone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 214342. European Medicines Agency schedules Halocortolone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07997MIG.

UNSPSC 51422508 Halocortolone is a Commodity code for a specific pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it diverge significantly from the nominal scope. Seminole County, Florida is procuring naloxone and drug deactivation systems through IFB 60459723LAS (response deadline July 26, 2023), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) to gather vendor capabilities for a direct-to-manufacturer prescription program. Neither opportunity involves halocortolone or products closely related to it. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its pharmaceutical product scope.

The geographic spread of activity under this code is concentrated in Florida and Texas based on the recent opportunities, though the Texas engagement is exploratory rather than a committed procurement. Issuing bodies include county health departments and state health and human services agencies. The Seminole County IFB represents a direct purchase of narcotics-reversal and drug-disposal products with quarterly deliveries to a community health facility, while the Texas RFI explores vendor capacity for direct manufacturer contracting without pharmacy benefit manager intermediation. Neither solicitation addresses the halocortolone product category explicitly, suggesting that the code assignment may reflect a broader pharmaceutical taxonomy that does not align with the actual goods and services state and local governments are sourcing under this designation. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of commodity tagging in state and local systems before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
