About UNSPSC 51101688
UNSPSC 51101688 Suramin, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The two opportunities tagged under this code — a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback award by the Illinois Department of Public Health for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride (completed award, not an open solicitation), and a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems — involve antibiotics and opioid-reversal medications respectively, neither of which aligns with suramin's actual pharmaceutical use. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the state and local procurement systems or category-tagging drift during RFQ and IFB posting cycles.
State and local purchasing offices do not appear to be actively soliciting suramin directly under this code at present. The two records in the recent-opportunities block are awarded or expired solicitations (the Illinois contract closed in August 2026; the Seminole County bid response deadline was July 26, 2023) and do not represent open buying activity. Without evidence of current open solicitations specifically for suramin or drugs categorized within this commodity code, pursuit under the present posting activity is not warranted. Firms interested in pharmaceutical supply contracts to state and local health agencies may find stronger signals in related procurement codes governing general pharmaceutical warehouse services or emergency medical supplies.
