UNSPSC 51452502: Lindane

This classification denotes a chlorinated ring carcinogen with the molecular formula C6H6Cl6, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 59NEE7PCAB, chemically known as 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane (mixture of isomers) but generally known as lindane, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 727. European Medicines Agency schedules Lindane in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08518MIG.

UNSPSC 51452502 Lindane (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under this code. The recent solicitations focus on naloxone, drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products — none of which involve lindane or its derivatives. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or a historical artifact where lindane procurement under this code is no longer active in the state and local market. Business development professionals should verify whether lindane-specific opportunities exist under alternative UNSPSC codes or confirm whether state and local demand for this commodity has shifted to different classification categories. The four recent opportunities posted — Seminole County, Florida's naloxone procurement (IFB, due Jul 26, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's direct-to-manufacturer prescription RFI (due Apr 3, 2026), City of Tampa's medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue (IFB, due Mar 13, 2026 with estimated value $700,000), and Minnesota MMCAP's multi-state generic pharmaceuticals RFP (due Mar 26, 2026) — all lie outside lindane's typical use cases and do not support a pursuit strategy under this code.
