UNSPSC 51452500: Anthelmintic chlorinated hydrocarbons

Anthelmintic drugs made from hydrocarbon compounds with one or more of the hydrogens replaced by chlorine.

UNSPSC 51452500 Anthelmintic chlorinated hydrocarbons is a Class code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract name refers to veterinary or agricultural anthelmintic compounds, yet recent solicitations tagged under it involve naloxone distribution, pharmaceutical benefit management, emergency medical supplies, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals—none of which align with chlorinated hydrocarbon antihelmintics. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied this code to health and pharmaceutical acquisitions; the actual work being bought under these tags centers on opioid-overdose reversal agents, first-aid and rescue equipment, and bulk pharmacy benefit contracting rather than the parasitic-treatment products the code nominally describes.

The four recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies: Seminole County, Florida (health-system procurement); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state-level pharmacy program design); the City of Tampa (fire-rescue supply through a small-business set-aside); and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving multiple states and Oregon. Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Texas, and the upper Midwest. Representative recent solicitations include Seminole County's IFB60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually through quarterly delivery; the City of Tampa's competitive bid 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of emergency medical and first-aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division, designated a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a $700,000 estimated contract value and 5% SLBE bid discount; and MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) establishing multi-award contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers to participating state and local government facilities. The code's low relevance to the nominal anthelmintic scope suggests limited utility for vendors in the target parasitic-treatment space.
