UNSPSC 51452405: Diethylcarbamazine citrate

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent with the molecular formula C10H21N3O.C6H8O7, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier OS1Z389K8S, chemically known as 4-methyl-n,n-bis(4-methylpiperazin-2-yl)-piperazine-1-carboxamide but more generally known as diethylcarbamazine citrate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3052. European Medicines Agency schedules Diethylcarbamazine citrate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01686MIG.

UNSPSC 51452405 Diethylcarbamazine citrate is a Commodity code that nominally represents a specific antiparasitic pharmaceutical, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's stated product scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under the code involve pharmaceutical distribution and drug-response supplies—one a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract for antibiotics (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride), the other a procurement for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems—neither of which is diethylcarbamazine citrate. State and local health departments and county health agencies are the issuing bodies active under this code, typically seeking volume pharmaceutical supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles or competitive bidding.

The most recent activity spans Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for antibiotic supply over a 12-month initial term with renewal options through year 3 via an Invitation for Bid process. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, requiring quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; bidders should verify that opportunities tagged under this Commodity code align with their product portfolio before pursuing, as the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations suggests potential classification errors in the underlying opportunity records.
