UNSPSC 51453107: Oxantel pamoate

This classification denotes a pyrantel analog and antinematodal agent with the molecular formula C23H16O6.C13H16N2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier UPY1D732T0, chemically known as (e)-m-(2-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)vinyl)phenol 4,4'-methylenebis(3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate) (1:1) (salt), but more generally known as oxantel pamoate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5281086.

UNSPSC 51453107 Oxantel pamoate is a Commodity code for a specific antiparasitic pharmaceutical product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope. The most recent opportunities posted against this code involve naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and safe drug deactivation systems, along with a completed award for doxycycline and ciprofloxacin antibiotics—none of which are oxantel pamoate. State and local health departments and special-purpose districts do procure pharmaceuticals and medical countermeasures through piggyback contracts and cooperative purchasing vehicles, but the tagging of these opportunities under 51453107 appears to reflect cataloging misalignment rather than genuine demand for oxantel pamoate specifically.

The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing consortium for doxycycline and ciprofloxacin (an IFB awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder), and Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB due July 26, 2023, for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries required and potential FEMA funding. These represent the scope of actual recent purchasing activity assigned to this code, but neither reflects procurement of oxantel pamoate. Without recent open solicitations genuinely seeking oxantel pamoate at the state or local level, the code shows little actionable current activity.
