UNSPSC 51441906: Metrizamide

This classification denotes a contrast agent with the molecular formula C18H22I3N3O8, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier RHH3W8F1CO, chemically known as 3-acetylamino-5-n-methyl-acetylamino-2,4,6-triiodobenzoyl glucosamine but more generally known as metrizamide, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 35734. The European Medicines Agency schedules Metrizamide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08921MIG.

UNSPSC 51441906 Metrizamide is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual goods and services posted under this classification in state and local procurement. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code involve X-ray system maintenance services (Broward County Aviation Department) and chemical supply contracts for copper sulfate (Pasco County, Florida), neither of which aligns with metrizamide, a radiographic contrast agent. The code shows minimal recent relevant activity in state and local procurement and may be applied inconsistently or incorrectly by posting jurisdictions.

Broward County Aviation Department issued a Request for Information on June 25, 2026, due July 28, 2026, to identify maintenance service providers for proprietary Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems (600 and 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini models); the RFI is designated as a notice of intent to procure sole source or sole brand, inviting vendors to contest the designation or demonstrate comparable multi-source availability. Pasco County posted an as-needed RFQ on June 3, 2026, closing June 26, 2026, to contract with one or more vendors for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an indefinite-quantity basis. The recent posting activity originates in Florida counties with no other geographic or issuing-body pattern evident from the source. Firms evaluating this code should verify actual commodity or service scope with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit, as the tagging appears misaligned with the code's stated product category.
