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 that in practice captures pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health agencies, though the recent solicitation activity under this code tag shows a mismatch between the nominal product and what jurisdictions are actually buying. Seminole County, Florida recently posted an IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems — opioid-overdose response and harm-reduction equipment — rather than halocortolone, a corticosteroid pharmaceutical. State and local health departments, counties, and municipal community health agencies use codes in this family to procure emergency medications, overdose-reversal agents, and related medical supplies to support public health initiatives and harm-reduction programs. The procurement vehicle is typically competitive bidding (IFB) with fixed-fee awards and requirements for standard vendor compliance including drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify, and appropriate insurance coverage.

Seminole County, Florida represents the primary recent activity under this code tag. The county issued IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, for annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The response deadline was July 26, 2023 (the source contains a date discrepancy: posted June 2026 but deadline July 2023). The contract was structured as a two-year agreement with a one-year renewal option, funded potentially through FEMA, and included probationary termination rights and federal environmental-compliance overlays. Vendors bear responsibility for all shipping and delivery costs. Beyond this single recent solicitation, the code shows limited documented activity, and the mismatch between the code name (halocortolone) and the scope (naloxone and drug deactivation equipment) suggests either miscoding by the issuing body or code drift in how Seminole County tags emergency pharmaceutical and medical-device procurement.
