UNSPSC 51442404: Diodone or iodopyracet

This classification denotes an iodinated contrast dye with the molecular formula C7H5I2NO3.C4H11NO2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier ZTK4026YJ5, chemically known as 3,5-diiodo-4-pyridone-n-acetic acid, diethanolamine salt but more generally known as diodone, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 9303. The European Medicines Agency schedules Diodone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07197MIG.

UNSPSC 51442404 Diodone or iodopyracet is a Commodity code nominally identifying a specific radiological contrast agent; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect pharmaceutical or medical imaging contrast procurement. Instead, the code appears to have been incorrectly applied to radiological equipment, X-ray systems maintenance, and unrelated industrial chemicals. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual solicitation activity suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging X-ray and radiological equipment opportunities with this contrast-agent code, likely due to classification error or system misconfiguration. The issuing bodies in the recent record span county government (Maricopa County, Arizona; Escambia County, Florida; Broward County, Florida; Pasco County, Florida) across multiple functional areas — facilities management, corrections, aviation, and utilities — rather than healthcare or diagnostic imaging departments where one would expect contrast-agent procurement.

The geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, with three of four recent opportunities originating from Florida counties (Escambia, Broward, and Pasco), while Maricopa County, Arizona represents the single non-Florida entry. The most recent opportunity is Maricopa County's IFB 362910, posted October 1, 2026, soliciting radiologic equipment and installation services for three colleges with a response due October 22, 2026. Escambia County Correction issued a sole-source solicitation (SSCORALM2526005) in August 2026 for an extended warranty on specified X-ray machines, while Broward County Aviation Department posted an RFI in June 2026 to determine whether maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems are available outside sole-source designation. These opportunities illustrate that current activity under this code involves capital equipment procurement and service contracts rather than pharmaceutical goods. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition and warrants re-classification review with state and local procurement offices using it.
