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 recent activity aligned with the code's chemical specification. The two recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve X-ray system maintenance services and copper sulfate supply — neither matching iocarmic acid's pharmaceutical or contrast-media scope. Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI (solicitation BLD2132311F1, due July 28, 2026) to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems are available from sources other than the sole-source vendor Rapiscan, or whether an alternate system meets its needs. Pasco County, Florida solicited vendors on an as-needed basis to supply large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate under an indefinite-quantity arrangement (RFQFP261004, due June 26, 2026). Both opportunities reflect state and local government use of specialized equipment or chemicals unrelated to iocarmic acid procurement.

The code shows no recent state and local contract opportunities for iocarmic acid itself. The geographic spread is limited to Florida (Broward and Pasco Counties), and the issuing bodies are county-level aviation and water-supply functions rather than healthcare or pharmaceutical procurement offices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either misclassification by the issuing jurisdictions or minimal recent demand for iocarmic acid through state and local procurement channels. Vendors targeting this code should monitor for healthcare system, hospital district, or diagnostic-imaging procurement activity, as those customer segments are more likely to generate relevant solicitations.
