UNSPSC 51441520: Iocarmic acid

This classification denotes an iodinated contrast dye with the molecular formula C24H20I6N4O8, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 82PB24K6TZ, chemically known as 5,5-(tetramethylenebis(carbonylimino))bis(n-methyl-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamic acid) but more generally known as iocarmic acid, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 25229. The European Medicines Agency schedules Iocarmic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08208MIG.

UNSPSC 51441520 Iocarmic acid, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's name indicates a specific radiographic contrast agent, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span radiologic equipment procurement, X-ray equipment warranties and maintenance, and chemical supplies — none of which constitute iocarmic acid acquisition. The issuing bodies include a county community college system (Maricopa County), a county corrections department (Escambia County), a county aviation authority (Broward County), and a county public works or utilities operation (Pasco County), reflecting a mix of local jurisdictions rather than specialized medical or research procurement. The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Arizona based on recent postings.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch. Maricopa County posted IFB 362910 on October 1, 2026, for radiologic equipment and installation services at three colleges, closing October 22, 2026. Escambia County Correction posted sole-source solicitation SSCORALM2526005 on August 12, 2026, for an extended warranty on specific X-ray machines, closing August 19, 2026. Broward County Aviation Department posted RFI BLD2132311F1 on June 25, 2026, closing July 28, 2026, to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems are available from sources other than the manufacturer. Pasco County posted RFQ FP261004 on June 3, 2026, for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, closing June 26, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for iocarmic acid itself; the tagged opportunities suggest a classification misalignment that may limit the code's utility for vendors targeting iocarmic acid procurement by state and local buyers.
