UNSPSC 51281501 Ethambutol is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical products procured by state and local health agencies, though recent opportunities show little activity specifically tagged to this code. The two recent state and local records tied to the code involve different pharmaceutical products — one a piggyback award for antibiotics (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride) through a consortium model, and the other a competitive solicitation for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems — neither of which is ethambutol itself. State and local buyers using this code typically include state health departments and county public health authorities procuring pharmaceuticals for emergency preparedness, infectious-disease management, and community health initiatives. Purchases are often structured as piggyback awards through cooperative purchasing consortia such as MMCAP Infuse, which allow participating agencies to leverage existing state or regional contracts rather than conducting individual competitive solicitations.

The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for pharmaceutical warehouse supply under IFB 26482DPHPREPDB53392, with an initial 12-month term and renewal options through year 3. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB on June 30, 2026 (due July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, requiring all-inclusive pricing and E-Verify compliance, with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option. Recent activity centers in Florida and Illinois, with no other states represented in the available record.
