UNSPSC 51442102: Perflubron or perfluorooctyl bromide

This classification denotes a diagnostic reagent with the molecular formula C8BrF17, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Q1D0Q7R4D9, chemically known as 1-bromo-1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptadecafluorooctane but more generally known as perflubron, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 9873. The European Medicines Agency schedules Perflubron in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09721MIG.

UNSPSC 51442102 Perflubron or perfluorooctyl bromide, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's title references a specialized perfluorocarbon compound used in medical imaging and respiratory applications, yet the recent opportunities posted under it involve radiologic equipment procurement, X-ray system maintenance and warranties, and unrelated chemical supplies—none of which match perflubron or perfluorooctyl bromide. State and local governments have not posted opportunities for the chemical itself under this code in the recent record. The issuing bodies in the matched opportunities span county corrections departments, county aviation authorities, county community college systems, and county public works or utilities, reflecting the fragmented nature of state and local procurement across independent jurisdictions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida, with two opportunities from Escambia County Correction and Broward County Aviation Department, and one from Pasco County; Maricopa County, Arizona posted a single radiologic equipment IFB. Representative recent opportunities include Maricopa County's IFB 362910 (radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges, due October 22, 2026), Escambia County Correction's sole-source procurement SSCORALM2526005 (extended warranty for specified X-Ray machines, due August 19, 2026), and Broward County Aviation Department's RFI BLD2132311F1 (maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems, due July 28, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for its stated commodity.
