UNSPSC 51442409: Iobitridol

This classification denotes an iodinated contrast dye with the molecular formula C20H28I3N3O9, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 182ECH14UH, chemically known as 1,3-benzenedicarboxamide, n,n-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-5-((5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-oxopropyl)amino)-2,4,6-triiodo-n,n-dimethyl- but more generally known as iobitridol, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 65985.

UNSPSC 51442409 Iobitridol, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific radiographic contrast agent, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under it involve unrelated products and services: X-ray equipment maintenance and chemical supplies (copper sulfate). Neither solicitation involves iobitridol or related contrast media procurement.

The mismatch between the code's narrow pharmaceutical scope and the actual work being solicited reflects either tagging inconsistency within state and local procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC classification and current demand. Broward County Aviation Department's June 2026 RFI sought maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems, designated sole-source due to proprietary licensing; Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ in June 2026 for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis. Neither opportunity relates to contrast agents. Without evidence of active iobitridol solicitations or regular purchasing patterns under this code, the code does not present a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local procurement activity.
