UNSPSC 51451502: Nitroclofene

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent with the molecular formula C13H8Cl2N2O6, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier NT0758136A, chemically known as 4,6-dichloro-4,6-dinitro-2,2-methylenediphenol but generally known as nitroclofene, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 71718. European Medicines Agency schedules Nitroclofene in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09322MIG.

UNSPSC 51451502 Nitroclofene is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local pharmaceutical procurement activity. The code nominally covers nitroclofene, a specific active pharmaceutical ingredient, but the recent opportunities on record do not reference nitroclofene at all. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an Invitation for Bid process. Separately, Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB for annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. These solicitations reflect state and local demand for emergency pharmaceuticals and opioid-reversal agents, not the narrow ingredient scope the code nominally describes.

Activity under this code spans state health departments and county health agencies in Florida and Illinois, though the sample is too small to characterize geographic concentration reliably. The Seminole County IFB, posted June 30, 2026 with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, shows a mismatch in dating that suggests data quality issues in the source record. The Illinois piggyback award is complete and not an open solicitation. No open solicitations under the nitroclofene code are currently available. Business development professionals evaluating this code should note that state and local procurement systems appear to tag broad pharmaceutical supply contracts with this commodity code despite the absence of the specific ingredient, creating ambiguity about true demand for nitroclofene products in the state and local market.
