UNSPSC 51102871 Polymyxin b/trimethoprim is a Commodity code for anti-infective pharmaceutical products, but recent state and local activity tagged under this code does not reflect the specific drug formulation named in the code. Instead, solicitations filed under this code span a broader pharmaceutical procurement landscape, including antibiotic warehousing and emergency response medical supplies such as naloxone and drug deactivation systems. The issuing bodies are state health departments and county public-health authorities managing both routine pharmaceutical inventory and emergency preparedness procurement. The work is transactional supply contracting rather than manufacturing, compounding, or clinical services.

Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the recent issuing-body activity. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets, total award $2,999,999.11 over three years with an Invitation for Bid process. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: deadline date is historical); delivery is required quarterly to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, with all shipping and delivery costs included in vendor proposals. Both procurements indicate use of cooperative purchasing vehicles (MMCAP in Illinois) and standard IFB processes with fixed-price or unit-cost models. Geographic activity centers on Illinois and Florida within the recent window.
