About UNSPSC 51442004
UNSPSC 51442004 Fluorouracil is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers a specific chemotherapy drug, yet the two most recent opportunities posted under this classification involve X-ray system maintenance services (Broward County Aviation Department) and copper sulfate chemical supply (Pasco County, Florida) — neither of which aligns with pharmaceutical procurement. State and local buyers do source fluorouracil and related oncology drugs through group purchasing organizations and cooperative procurement vehicles, but the recent-opportunities block does not surface active solicitations for the drug itself under this code.
The geographic spread of tagged opportunities is limited to Florida; Pasco County and Broward County represent the extent of visible recent activity. The Broward County RFI, posted June 25, 2026 with responses due July 28, 2026, concerns sole-source designation for Rapiscan X-ray inspection system maintenance — plainly unrelated to the code's pharmaceutical scope. The Pasco County RFQ, posted June 3, 2026 with a June 26, 2026 deadline, solicits large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an indefinite-quantity, as-needed basis. Neither opportunity reflects active demand for fluorouracil itself. Unless your firm supplies fluorouracil to state health systems, hospital networks, or cancer treatment centers through direct contract or cooperative-purchasing vehicles, this code merits watch status only; the recent record provides no clear procurement signals.
