UNSPSC 51442440: Sodium tyropanoate or tyropanoic acid

This classification denotes a contrast media with the molecular formula C15H18I3NO3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 4F05V145YR, chemically known as 3-butyramido-alpha-ethyl-2,4,6-triiodohydrocinnamic acid sodium salt but more generally known as tyropanoic acid, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 23676. The European Medicines Agency schedules Tyropanoic acid in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05028MIG.

The World Health Organization schedules tyropanoic acid in its Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification. SMILES: CCCC(=O)NC1=C(C=C(C(=C1I)CC(CC)C(=O)[O-])I)I.[Na+]. Most nations schedule Sodium tyropanoate or tyropanoic acid under HS 29242995.

UNSPSC 51442440 Sodium tyropanoate or tyropanoic acid is a Commodity code that captures specialized chemical products and related services procured by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities block shows limited activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The two recent solicitations posted under this code reflect divergent procurement patterns: Broward County Aviation Department issued an RFI on June 25, 2026, seeking maintenance and inspection services for proprietary Rapiscan X-ray systems (600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini models), which the County has designated as sole-source or sole-brand due to exclusive licensing and warranty agreements; and Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ on June 3, 2026, for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed, indefinite-quantity basis with responses due June 26, 2026. Neither opportunity directly involves sodium tyropanoate or tyropanoic acid, indicating that the code's recent state and local activity does not map clearly to its chemical designation.

Activity under this code shows limited breadth across issuing bodies, with only county-level aviation and water/environmental management departments appearing in the recent record. Geographic concentration is narrow, limited to Florida (Broward and Pasco Counties) in the posted opportunities. The Broward RFI remains open through July 28, 2026, and invites vendors to challenge the sole-source determination or demonstrate comparable systems; the County will notify all respondents of the final designation decision through its electronic bidding system. The mismatch between the code's chemical-products designation and the X-ray maintenance and copper sulfate procurement activity suggests either cataloging inconsistency or that this Commodity code is used infrequently and imprecisely by state and local procurement offices. Business development professionals should verify code alignment with actual buying patterns in their target jurisdictions before committing pursuit resources.
