UNSPSC 51281600: Aminoglycosides

This classification denotes glycosylated compounds and antibiotics in which there is an amino substituent on the glycoside, which are therefore called AMINOGLYCOSIDES.

UNSPSC 51281600 Aminoglycosides is a Class code that nominally describes antibiotic medications in the aminoglycoside family, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that scope. The two opportunities posted in the dataset reflect pharmaceutical procurement by state health departments and county health agencies, but neither involves aminoglycoside antibiotics specifically. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets — neither of which are aminoglycosides — while Seminole County, Florida solicited Naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health support. The code appears to be receiving misfiled or cross-tagged opportunities that do not represent the aminoglycoside product family.

State and local health agencies are the primary issuing bodies posting under this code, with recent activity concentrated in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health's August 2026 award to Chartwell Rx LLC through an IFB process reflects the state's reliance on cooperative purchasing vehicles for large-volume pharmaceutical supply, while Seminole County's June 2026 solicitation (due July 26, 2026) for Naloxone and deactivation systems shows county-level procurement of emergency-response pharmaceuticals. Without genuine aminoglycoside solicitations in the recent record, the code does not support a reliable market characterization for business development purposes. Bidders pursuing pharmaceutical supply contracts with state health departments should monitor cooperative purchasing consortia such as MMCAP Infuse and state-specific IFB channels, but should not rely on this code alone to surface aminoglycoside-specific opportunities.
