UNSPSC 51441618: Pentagastrin

This classification denotes a diagnostic reagent, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier EF0NX91490. European Medicines Agency schedules Pentagastrin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09678MIG. Pentagastrin generally arises in the molecular formula C37H49N7O9S.

The term PENTAGASTRIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see World Health Organization INN reference publication, volume 22, no. 10, 1968, list 8.) PENTAGASTRIN is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix.

UNSPSC 51441618 Pentagastrin is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific pharmaceutical agent used in diagnostic gastroenterology, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show little alignment with that scope. The code appears in active procurement activity, but the opportunities posted do not involve pentagastrin or related diagnostic pharmaceuticals. Instead, issuing bodies—primarily Florida counties and Arizona jurisdictions—are soliciting radiologic and X-ray equipment, extended warranties for imaging systems, maintenance services for specialized inspection systems, and chemical supplies such as copper sulfate. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by state and local procurement offices or a data-integration issue that has displaced the pentagastrin code from its intended use.

Recent opportunities span Florida (Escambia County Correction, Broward County Aviation Department, and Pasco County) and Arizona (Maricopa County), with activity across county correction departments, aviation authorities, and community college systems. Maricopa County posted IFB 362910 on October 1, 2026, soliciting radiologic equipment and installation services at three colleges with responses due October 22, 2026. Escambia County Correction issued sole-source RFQ SSCORALM2526005 (due August 19, 2026) for extended warranty coverage on X-ray machines. Broward County Aviation Department posted RFI BLD2132311F1 on June 25, 2026 to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems are available from vendors other than the manufacturer. Given the consistent miscoding across multiple counties and the absence of pentagastrin-related solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, the code shows no current relevant activity for pharmaceutical procurement specialists and warrants verification against the source system before targeting.
