UNSPSC 51451801: Albendazole

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier F4216019LN. European Medicines Agency schedules Albendazole in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05295MIG. Albendazole generally arises in the molecular formula C12H15N3O2S.

UNSPSC 51451801 Albendazole, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope—antiparasitic pharmaceuticals. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement rather than albendazole-specific solicitation, indicating either code-tagging inconsistency or limited demand signal under the specific drug name.

State and local issuing bodies are instead soliciting pharmaceuticals and medical supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles, direct-to-government pharmacy initiatives, and first-responder supply contracts. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued an RFP on January 20, 2026 (due March 26, 2026) to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local government facilities including Oregon; vendors must supply through three authorized wholesalers and comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices and Drug Supply Chain Security Act certification. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI on April 3, 2026 to gather market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager and group purchasing organization channels. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB on June 30, 2026 (due July 26, 2023) for naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems through competitive bidding, requiring quarterly deliveries and electronic bid submission. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department solicited medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division via sealed bid (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) with an estimated contract amount of $700,000 and a 5 percent Small Local Business Enterprise bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and Oregon, with cooperative purchasing structures extending state and local reach. The code shows little recent activity specifically for albendazole procurement; state and local governments appear to source antiparasitic and other specialty pharmaceuticals through established wholesaler networks and cooperative agreements rather than single-drug commodity solicitations.
