UNSPSC 51453103 Morantel citrate is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The four most recent opportunities include solicitations for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida), direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), medical and first aid supplies for emergency response (City of Tampa), and generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations name morantel citrate, an antiparasitic veterinary pharmaceutical, as a line item or contract focus. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the stated commodity; the opportunities appear to reflect broader pharmaceutical, medical supply, and health services procurement that has been incorrectly or broadly tagged to this Commodity designation.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code range from county health departments and city fire-rescue operations to state health and human services commissions and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances, indicating diverse end-use contexts across health, emergency services, and pharmacy benefit administration. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with the Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle (MMCAP) serving multiple jurisdictions. Recent notice types include ITB (Seminole County), RFI (Texas HHS), IFB (City of Tampa), and RFP (MMCAP), with response dates spanning March through July 2026. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the current tagging as unreliable for morantel citrate sourcing and conduct direct outreach to veterinary health programs or animal control agencies if pursuing the stated commodity specifically.
