UNSPSC 51441905: Methiodal sodium

This classification denotes an iodinated contrast dye with the molecular formula CH2IO3S.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 3880P18UBM, chemically known as monoiodomethanesulfonic acid, sodium salt but more generally known as methiodal, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 31345. European Medicines Agency schedules Methiodal in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB03220MIG. The term METHIODAL is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51441905 Methiodal sodium, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope: Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI on June 25, 2026 (due July 28, 2026) seeking maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems, and Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ on June 3, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for as-needed supply of large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate. Neither solicitation involves methiodal sodium or pharmaceutical products. The mismatch between the code's chemical pharmaceutical identity and the actual work being solicited suggests that recent tagging under this code does not reflect genuine procurement demand for the commodity itself.

The geographic activity is limited to Florida, with no evidence of broader state or regional purchasing patterns. Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities under this code and the apparent miscoding of posted solicitations, pursuit of this code would be inefficient for vendors in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic-imaging, or chemical-supply sectors targeting state and local markets.
