UNSPSC 51102852 Gramicidin/neomycin/polymyxin b is a Commodity code covering topical antibiotic pharmaceutical formulations, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the nominal product scope. The two most recent opportunities identified—an Illinois Department of Public Health pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract for systemic antibiotics (Doxycycline and Ciprofloxacin) and a Seminole County, Florida procurement for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems—diverge significantly from the gramicidin/neomycin/polymyxin b category. State and local solicitation tagging under this code appears inconsistent or misaligned with the product classification itself, suggesting either upstream catalog-management issues or opportunistic use of the code number for related pharmaceutical categories. Issuing bodies using this code span state health departments and county health authorities, though the sample is too limited to characterize a broader issuing-body pattern.

The two opportunities span Florida and Illinois, with no additional geographic concentration evident in the recent record. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 three-year contract to Chartwell Rx LLC via the MMCAP Infuse consortium for pharmaceutical warehouse supply under an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process, concluded in August 2026. Seminole County issued an IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS) with a July 26, 2023 response deadline 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. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent solicitations tagged to it, prospective vendors should verify direct applicability to specific opportunities before investing in pursuit strategy under this code.
