UNSPSC 51453400: Anthelmintic terpenes

Anthelmintic drugs made from a class of compounds composed of repeating 5-carbon units of hemiterpenes.

UNSPSC 51453400 Anthelmintic terpenes, a Class code, nominally covers anti-parasitic chemical compounds, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with that scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged to the code involve pharmaceutical procurement unrelated to anthelmintic or terpene products: the Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for antibiotic tablets (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride), and Seminole County, Florida released an IFB for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems. Neither opportunity reflects the code's stated commodity focus. The tagging appears to reflect a classification error rather than legitimate procurement activity under the code's intended scope.

Activity under this code is insufficient to support business development pursuit at this time. The Illinois contract was an already-awarded piggyback through a cooperative purchasing vehicle with no open competition remaining, and the Seminole County opportunity, though posted in June 2026, carried a response deadline of July 26, 2023—a date that has passed. No open solicitations reflecting actual anthelmintic or terpene procurement are present in the available record. Firms tracking this code should monitor whether state and local agencies correct the classification or whether future opportunities reflect the true commodity scope.
