UNSPSC 51442406: Iobenguane

This classification denotes an iodinated contrast dye with the molecular formula C8H10IN3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 35MRW7B4AD, chemically known as guanidine, ((3-iodophenyl)methyl)- but more generally known as iobenguane, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 60860. The European Medicines Agency schedules Iobenguane in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB32630.

IOBENGUANE is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix. SMILES: IC1CC(C/N=C(/N)N)CCC1. SMILES: IC1CC(C/N=C(/N)N)CCC1. Most nations schedule Iobenguane under HS 28444030.

UNSPSC 51442406 Iobenguane is a Commodity code that nominally designates a radiopharmaceutical used in thyroid and neuroendocrine imaging. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch between the code designation and actual buying patterns. The two posted opportunities—a Broward County Aviation Department RFI for maintenance services on Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems (June 25, 2026) and a Pasco County RFQ for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate (June 3, 2026)—bear no relationship to iobenguane or nuclear medicine procurement. This code appears to see little relevant state and local activity tied to its intended scope.

No medical facilities, health departments, hospital systems, or radiopharmaceutical buyers have posted opportunities under UNSPSC 51442406 in the source record. The geographic concentration of the misaligned opportunities in Florida, combined with the absence of authentic iobenguane procurement, suggests that this code either receives minimal state and local procurement volume or is systematically miscoded when states and localities do purchase nuclear imaging agents. Firms pursuing opportunities in diagnostic imaging radiopharmaceuticals should monitor higher-level family and segment codes rather than this specific commodity designation, as the current activity does not reflect genuine demand under this UNSPSC taxonomy entry.
