UNSPSC 51442212: Gadoxetic acid

This classification denotes a gadolinium-chelate and contrast agent (especially deployed liver CT studies), a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 3QJA87N40S. The European Medicines Agency schedules Gadoxetic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07868MIG. Gadoxetic acid generally arises in the molecular formula C23H30GDN3O11.

The term GADOXETIC ACID is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see World Health Organization INN reference publication, Volume 9, no. 3, 1995, list 35.) SMILES: [Gd]12[N](CC([N]1(CC(=O)O)CC(=O)O)Cc1ccc(OCC)cc1)(CC[N]2(CC(=O)O)CC(=O)O)CC(=O)O.[H].[H]. Most nations schedule Gadoxetic acid under HS 28469000.

UNSPSC 51442212 Gadoxetic acid is a Commodity code that nominally covers pharmaceutical contrast agents, but recent state and local activity under this code shows little alignment with that scope. The two posted opportunities—a Broward County Aviation Department RFI for Rapiscan X-ray system maintenance services and a Pasco County RFQ for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate—fall outside the gadoxetic acid product category entirely. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for specialized chemical and equipment-related purchases that do not fit standard taxonomies, rather than for actual gadoxetic acid procurement. The issuing bodies are county-level purchasing departments, and the work spans proprietary equipment service and water-treatment or industrial chemicals.

Activity under the code is geographically limited to Florida, with the Broward County Aviation Department posting an RFI due July 28, 2026, to determine whether sole-source maintenance services for Rapiscan 600, 900, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini X-ray inspection systems can be obtained from vendors other than Rapiscan, and the Pasco County RFQ due June 26, 2026, for copper sulfate supply on an indefinite-quantity basis. No other states or jurisdictions have posted opportunities under this code in the recent activity block, and the two Florida solicitations address fundamentally different commodity categories. The code appears to see minimal recent procurement activity overall and shows no coherent pattern of state and local buying in line with its nominal gadoxetic acid classification.
