UNSPSC 51442436: Rose bengal sodium I 131

This classification denotes a dye with the molecular formula C20H2Cl4I4O5.2Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 956575SN5L, chemically known as 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2,4,5,7-tetraiodofluorescein disodium salt but more generally known as rose bengal sodium, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 69438. European Medicines Agency schedules Rose bengal sodium in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB15149MIG.

World Health Organization schedules rose bengal sodium in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification. SMILES: C1=C2C(=C3C=C(C(=O)C(=C3OC2=C(C(=C1I)[O-])I)I)I)C4=C(C(=C(C(=C4Cl)Cl)Cl)Cl)C(=O)[O-].[Na+].[Na+].

UNSPSC 51442436 Rose bengal sodium I 131 is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four most recent opportunities posted under this code span radiologic and X-ray equipment procurement, X-ray system maintenance and warranty services, and chemical supplies—none of which directly correspond to radioactive diagnostic agents or rose bengal sodium products. State and local governments do procure medical imaging supplies and equipment, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect a mismatch between the code's pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical intent and the actual goods being bought. The issuing bodies include county government purchasing (Maricopa County, Escambia County Correction, Broward County Aviation Department, and Pasco County), indicating routine administrative and facility-support demand rather than specialized procurement of radiopharmaceuticals.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida (three of four recent opportunities: Escambia County, Broward County, and Pasco County) and Arizona (Maricopa County), though the small sample and code-mismatch pattern limit conclusions about genuine demand under this code. Representative recent solicitations include Maricopa County's IFB 362910 for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges, due October 22, 2026; Escambia County Correction's sole-source IFB SSCORALM2526005 for an extended warranty on X-ray machines, due August 19, 2026; and Broward County Aviation Department's RFI BLD2132311F1 concerning maintenance services for Rapiscan X-ray inspection systems, due July 28, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors supplying radiopharmaceuticals or diagnostic imaging agents to state and local health systems or public hospitals.
