UNSPSC 51471801: Acriflavine or acriflavinium

This classification denotes a dye with the molecular formula C13H11N3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 1T3A50395T, chemically known as acridine-3,6-diamine, but generally known as acriflavine, and which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 443101. European Medicines Agency schedules acriflavine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB00292MIG. The term ACRIFLAVINE is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN.

Acriflavine or acriflavinium bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0001187 and NCI Concept Code C76253. SMILES: C[N+]1=C2C=C(C=CC2=CC3=C1C=C(C=C3)N)N.C1=CC(=CC2=NC3=C(C=CC(=C3)N)C=C21)N.

UNSPSC 51471801 Acriflavine or acriflavinium, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers acriflavine and acriflavinium — antimicrobial chemical compounds used in medical and laboratory settings — but the two recent opportunities tagged to this code are soliciting janitorial supplies and generic pharmaceuticals, neither of which involve acriflavine or acriflavinium as a primary product. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for its fire rescue operations on an as-needed basis, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year with delivery to fire stations across the county. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products across participating state and local government facilities, including Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026. Neither solicitation reflects procurement of acriflavine or acriflavinium compounds.

The code exhibits low decision relevance for vendors working in specialty pharmaceutical chemicals or antimicrobial compounds. The mismatch between the code's chemical specificity and the broad commodity categories actually being solicited suggests either tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that acriflavine and acriflavinium are not currently being sought by state or local buyers in volume sufficient to generate dedicated procurement activity. Based on available recent opportunities, this code does not represent active or focused market demand in state and local government contracting.
