UNSPSC 51441611: Etanidazole

This classification denotes a radiosensitizing agent with the molecular formula C7H10N4O4, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 30DKA3Q1HL, chemically known as 2-nitroimidazole-1-acetamide, n-(2-hydroxyethyl)- but more generally known as etanidazole, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 3276. The European Medicines Agency schedules Etanidazole in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07261MIG.

The term ETANIDAZOLE is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see World Health Organization INN reference publication, Volume 1, No. 4, 1987, List 27). ETANIDAZOLE is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix. SMILES: O=C(NCCO)CN1C(NCC1)[N](=O)O.

UNSPSC 51441611 Etanidazole is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with etanidazole procurement. Instead, the activity reflects miscoded solicitations for radiologic equipment, X-ray system maintenance and warranties, and chemical supplies—none of which map to etanidazole, a nitroimidazole pharmaceutical compound. State and local governments appear to use this code inconsistently or erroneously across unrelated product categories. The issuing bodies in the recent record include county-level procurement offices (Maricopa County, Escambia County Correction, Broward County Aviation Department, and Pasco County, Florida), suggesting that the code is applied across general county procurement systems without category discipline.

The geographic activity in the recent record concentrates in Florida (Escambia, Broward, and Pasco counties) and Arizona (Maricopa County). Representative recent solicitations include Maricopa County's IFB362910 for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges (due October 22, 2026); Escambia County Correction's sole-source SSCORALM2526005 for extended warranty on X-ray machines (due August 19, 2026); and Broward County Aviation Department's RFI (BLD2132311F1) seeking maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems (due July 28, 2026). Pasco County also posted an as-needed RFQ (RFQFP261004) for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate (due June 26, 2026). The code shows no traceable etanidazole procurement activity and appears to function as a catch-all or default category for miscellaneous medical, industrial, and chemical supplies in state and local systems.
