UNSPSC 51451706: Bephenium hydroxynaphthoate

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent with the molecular formula C17H22NO.C11H7O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 47RU9546DX, chemically known as benzenemethanaminium, n,n-dimethyl-n-(2-phenoxyethyl)-, salt with 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (1:1) but more generally known as bephenium hydroxynaphthoate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 19666.

UNSPSC 51451706 Bephenium hydroxynaphthoate is a Commodity code that does not align with the work actually being solicited under it by state and local buyers. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe procurement of naloxone and drug deactivation systems, therapeutic pharmacy initiatives, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products—none of which are bephenium hydroxynaphthoate, an anthelmintic pharmaceutical ingredient. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how opportunities are being tagged at the source level or a fundamental divergence between the code's nominal scope and the work transacting in practice under its label.

The four recent opportunities span issuing bodies including Seminole County, Florida (naloxone and drug deactivation systems IFB); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (therapeutic pharmacy direct-to-manufacturer RFI); the City of Tampa (medical and first aid supplies IFB for the Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated $700,000, with a sheltered-market SLBE set-aside and 5% bid discount); and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration (generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products RFP, due March 26, 2026, with awards effective July 1, 2026). Activity appears across Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with a mix of county health initiatives, state agency pharmacy programs, municipal emergency services, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Given the consistent mismatch between the code definition and the actual procurement scope across all four recent opportunities, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors seeking to pursue bephenium hydroxynaphthoate contracts specifically.
