UNSPSC 51442432: Ioxaglate or ioxaglate meglumine or ioxaglate sodium or sodium ioxaglate

This classification denotes an iodinated contrast dye with the molecular formula C24H20I6N5O8.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier HQ43CN02U9, chemically known as sodium n-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,4,6-triiodo-5-(2-(2,4,6-triiodo-3-(n-methylacetamido)-5-(methylcarbamoyl)benzamido)acetamido)isophthalamate but more generally known as ioxaglate sodium, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 50016.

The European Medicines Agency schedules Ioxaglate sodium in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB02757MIG. SMILES: CC(=O)N(C)C1=C(C(=C(C(=C1I)C(=O)NCC(=O)NC2=C(C(=C(C(=C2I)C(=O)[O-])I)C(=O)NCCO)I)I)C(=O)NC)I.[Na+]. Most nations schedule Ioxaglate or ioxaglate meglumine or ioxaglate sodium or sodium ioxaglate under HS 29242995.

UNSPSC 51442432 Ioxaglate or ioxaglate meglumine or ioxaglate sodium or sodium ioxaglate is a Commodity code that nominally describes radiographic contrast agents, but the recent state and local activity under this code shows little alignment with that scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve radiologic equipment procurement, X-ray system maintenance and warranties, and unrelated supplies such as copper sulfate — suggesting either inconsistent coding practice across issuing bodies or material misclassification of these opportunities. The issuing bodies are county governments and county departments: Maricopa County (Arizona), Escambia County (Florida), Broward County (Florida), and Pasco County (Florida). Work being solicited includes radiologic equipment and installation services for educational institutions, extended warranties for existing X-ray systems, maintenance services for proprietary X-ray inspection equipment, and chemical supplies, none of which directly align with the contrast-agent commodity the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Arizona based on the recent opportunities. Maricopa County, Arizona issued an IFB for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges with a response date of October 22, 2026 (Solicitation IFB362910). Escambia County Correction, Florida solicited an extended warranty for X-ray machines under sole-source procurement with responses due August 19, 2026 (SSCORALM2526005). Broward County Aviation Department, Florida issued an RFI on June 25, 2026 regarding maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray systems, designated as a sole-source or sole-brand procurement, with responses due July 28, 2026 (BLD2132311F1). The wide divergence between the code's nominal commodity scope and the actual solicitations suggests that business development professionals pursuing state and local opportunities in diagnostic imaging, radiologic systems, or related equipment would benefit from monitoring broader UNSPSC families rather than relying on this specific Commodity code.
