UNSPSC 51452701: Praziquantel

This classification denotes an antihelminthic agent with the molecular formula C19H24N2O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 6490C9U457, chemically known as 4h-pyrazino(2,1-a)isoquinolin-4-one, 2-(cyclohexylcarbonyl)-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro- but generally known as praziquantel, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 4891. European Medicines Agency schedules Praziquantel in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB10008MIG.

UNSPSC 51452701 Praziquantel, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two posted opportunities tagged to this code—a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract in Illinois and a naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement in Florida—do not reflect praziquantel procurement. Illinois Department of Public Health's August 2026 award to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse consortium covered doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets over a 12-month initial term with renewal options, totaling $2,999,999.11 across the contract life. Seminole County, Florida's June 2026 IFB sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building, though the posted due date of July 26, 2023, is inconsistent with the June 2026 posting date and may indicate a historical record or data entry error.

The code does not demonstrate recent, active state and local solicitation volume for praziquantel itself. The Illinois and Florida opportunities represent pharmaceutical and public-health procurement broadly, but neither addresses the antiparasitic drug that the UNSPSC code nominally covers. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the current posting volume as a signal of minimal purchasing activity or potential misclassification of opportunities within state and local procurement systems under this commodity designation.
