UNSPSC 51441601: Aminohippurate sodium or Aminohippuric acid

This classification denotes a diagnostic reagent, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Y79XT83BJ9. The European Medicines Agency schedules Aminohippuric acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12852MIG. Aminohippuric acid generally arises in the molecular formula C9H10N2O3. The term 'aminohippuric acid' is a U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention designation. SMILES: C1=CC(=CC=C1C(=O)NCC(=O)O)N.

UNSPSC 51441601 Aminohippurate sodium or Aminohippuric acid is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal pharmaceutical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve aminohippurate sodium or related diagnostic agents; instead, they center on radiologic equipment, X-ray system maintenance, and unrelated chemical supplies (copper sulfate). The code appears to serve as a catch-all or miscategorization vehicle for state and local health and correctional agencies purchasing imaging equipment, warranty extensions, and inspection system services rather than as a procurement tool for the specific compound its name implies.

Activity is dispersed across Florida counties and Arizona. Maricopa County (Arizona) posted an IFB (IFB362910) on October 1, 2026 for radiologic equipment and installation services at three colleges, with proposals due October 22, 2026. Escambia County Correction (Florida) solicited an extended warranty for X-Ray machines under sole-source procurement (SSCORALM2526005) with proposals due August 19, 2026. Broward County Aviation Department (Florida) issued an RFI (BLD2132311F1) posted June 25, 2026 to contest or confirm its sole-source designation for Rapiscan X-ray inspection system maintenance services, with responses due July 28, 2026. Pasco County (Florida) posted an as-needed RFQ (RFQFP261004) on June 3, 2026 for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, due June 26, 2026—unrelated to the code's stated scope. The mismatch between code designation and actual procurement suggests vendors pursuing this code should verify whether opportunities are genuinely relevant or result from agency miscoding before investing in responses.
