UNSPSC 51281608: Butikacin

This classification denotes an aminoglycoside antibiotic with the molecular formula C22H45N5O12, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier I61243PDCC, chemically known as uk-18,892 but generally known as butikacin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 65487. European Medicines Agency schedules Butikacin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06017MIG.

UNSPSC 51281608 Butikacin is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific pharmaceutical active ingredient, but recent state and local activity under this code shows little to no purchase volume aligned with that narrow product specification. The Illinois Department of Public Health's August 2026 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse awarded to Chartwell Rx LLC was for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets—neither butikacin—with a total award of $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida's June 2026 procurement (IFB60459723LAS) sought Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems, requesting 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually for quarterly delivery to the county's Community Health Building. Neither opportunity reflects butikacin procurement, suggesting the code may be tagged to these records by administrative or data-management error rather than representing actual commodity demand.

The issuing bodies posting under this code are state departments and county health agencies. Geographic activity centers on Florida and Illinois based on the two recent opportunities, though the mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the actual goods solicited limits confidence in the code's utility for forecasting future butikacin demand at the state and local level. Vendors pursuing pharmaceutical supply contracts through state and local health agencies should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles like MMCAP Infuse and county-specific ITB processes, but should verify that opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 51281608 align with their product lines before bid preparation, as the code's classification accuracy at the commodity tier appears inconsistent with current procurement practice.
