UNSPSC 51442101: Perflenapent or perfluoropentane

This classification denotes a contrast agent, generally used in radiography, with the molecular structure C5F12, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier, 483AU1Y5CZ chemically known as pentane, dodecafluoro-, but more commonly known as dodecafluoropentane, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 12675. The European Medicines Agency schedules Dodecafluoropentane in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB12493MIG.

Most nations schedule Perflenapent or perfluoropentane under HS 29033900. SMILES: FC(F)(C(F)(F)C(F)(F)F)C(F)(F)C(F)(F)F.

UNSPSC 51442101 Perfluoropentane (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's chemical specification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve radiologic and X-ray equipment procurement, maintenance, and warranty services—work that does not match the code's nominal scope of perfluoropentane chemical supply. One opportunity involves copper sulfate procurement unrelated to the code. The mismatch between the code's chemical specification and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source data or that perfluoropentane chemical procurement, when it occurs at the state and local level, is not being captured under this code in current notice activity.

The limited recent opportunities show issuing bodies across Florida (Escambia County Correction, Broward County Aviation Department, Pasco County) and Arizona (Maricopa County), but none of these represent actual perfluoropentane procurement. Maricopa County issued IFB 362910 on October 1, 2026 for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges (due October 22, 2026); Escambia County Correction solicited extended warranty coverage for X-Ray equipment under sole-source procurement (due August 19, 2026); and Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI on June 25, 2026 to determine sole-source status for Rapiscan X-ray system maintenance services (due July 28, 2026). This code warrants close monitoring if your firm supplies perfluoropentane to state or local end-users, but the current notice activity provides no clear signal of active demand under this specific UNSPSC designation.
