UNSPSC 51452601: Febantel

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent with the molecular formula C20H22N4O6S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier S75C401OS1, chemically known as n-(2-(2,3-bis-(methoxycarbonyl)-guanidino)-5-(phenylthio)-phenyl)-2-methoxyacetamide but generally known as febantel, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 9570638. European Medicines Agency schedules Febantel in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07518MIG.

UNSPSC 51452601 Febantel is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes febantel, an anthelmintic pharmaceutical agent, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover naloxone distribution, therapeutic pharmacy initiatives, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products—none of which are febantel-specific. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the procurement system or a broad-brush tagging practice that has divorced the code from its intended scope.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS Commission), municipal purchasing departments (City of Tampa), and regional cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually; the City of Tampa's IFB 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for medical and first aid supplies totaling an estimated $700,000 with a 5% SLBE bid discount; and MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers. The code shows little relevant activity for febantel-specific procurement and should be treated with caution during vendor qualification or opportunity filtering.
