UNSPSC 51442208: Gadopentetic acid

This classification denotes a gadolinium-chelate with the molecular formula C14H18N3O10.2H+.Gd, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier K2I13DR72L, chemically known as gadolinate(2-), (n,n-bis(2-(bis(carboxymethyl)amino)ethyl)glycinato(5-))-, dihydrogen but more generally known as gadopentetic acid, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 157429. The European Medicines Agency schedules Gadopentetic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07864MIG.

The World Health Organization schedules gadopentetic acid in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification. SMILES: [Gd].OC(=O)CN(CCN(CC(=O)O)CC(=O)O)CCN(CC(=O)O)CC(=O)O.[H].[H]. Most nations schedule Gadopentetic acid under HS 28469000.

UNSPSC 51442208 Gadopentetic acid is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations appears primarily mapped to maintenance services for specialized diagnostic and inspection equipment rather than the pharmaceutical contrast agent the code nominally describes. State and local governments solicit under this code for highly specialized inspection and repair services on proprietary X-ray systems, as evidenced by Broward County Aviation Department's June 2026 RFI for maintenance of Rapiscan 600 and 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini X-ray inspection systems. The code also reflects chemical supply contracting, as seen in Pasco County's June 2026 RFQ for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county aviation departments, county purchasing offices, and other county-level jurisdictions managing specialized equipment or chemical inventories.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, where Broward County and Pasco County both posted opportunities in June 2026. Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI (BLD2132311F1) posted June 25, 2026, with responses due July 28, 2026, to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray systems are available from vendors other than the manufacturer or whether comparable alternate systems exist; the RFI explicitly invites vendors to contest the proposed sole-source designation and submit documentation of comparable or multi-source alternatives. Pasco County issued an RFQ (RFQFP261004) posted June 3, 2026, with proposals due June 26, 2026, for indefinite-quantity supply of copper sulfate in crystal and liquid forms. The mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical scope and the actual work being solicited (equipment maintenance and chemical supply) suggests limited direct relevance of this Commodity code to traditional gadopentetic acid procurement activity in state and local markets.
