UNSPSC 51102850 Gentamicin/prednisolone is a Commodity code that in practice covers pharmaceutical products and medical supplies procured by state and local health agencies, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida have posted procurement activity nominally under this code, but neither opportunity involves gentamicin/prednisolone or related ophthalmic antimicrobials; instead, the tagged solicitations cover antibiotic tablets (doxycycline, ciprofloxacin) and opioid-reversal and drug-deactivation systems. State and local health departments and counties appear to be the primary issuing bodies using this code for pharmaceutical warehouse contracts and community health supply purchases, though the actual products being bought diverge substantially from the code's specificity.

Illinois and Florida show recent activity under this code. Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 via Invitation for Bid, covering doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride over a 12-month initial term with renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB in June 2026 for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford; the bid required electronic submission through the county's e-Procurement Portal, drug-free workplace certification, and E-Verify compliance, with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option. The code's tagging does not match the work being solicited, signaling potential data-quality issues or misclassification in the state and local procurement systems.
