UNSPSC 51281613: Framycetin

This classification denotes an aminoglycoside antibiotic with the molecular formula C23H46N6O13, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 4BOC774388, chemically known as d-streptamine, o-2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-o-(o-2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-beta-l-idopyranosyl-(1-3)-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-(1-5))-2-deoxy- but generally known as framycetin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 8378.

UNSPSC 51281613 Framycetin, a Commodity code, nominally covers a single topical antibiotic; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show minimal relevance to framycetin itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of broader pharmaceutical and medical supply categories — naloxone and drug deactivation systems, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and emergency medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations. The actual buying activity under this code spans health departments, county community health systems, fire departments, and state health and human services agencies procuring pharmaceutical products, emergency medical consumables, and pharmacy benefit program services rather than framycetin-specific items. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing alliances representing multiple state and local jurisdictions (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across participating states including Oregon).

The most recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, with multi-state reach through cooperative purchasing arrangements. Representative opportunities include Seminole County's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (1,900 units of naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, delivery due July 26, 2023), the City of Tampa's ITB for medical and first aid supplies serving the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division (169 line items including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, and medical consumables, $700,000 estimated contract value, sheltered for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount, due March 13, 2026), the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (proposals due March 26, 2026, serving multiple state and local facilities), and the Texas HHS Commission's Request for Information on a Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative Direct-to-Manufacturer Prescriptions program (response deadline April 3, 2026, exploratory market intelligence to inform future formal procurement). The mismatch between the framycetin commodity code and the actual pharmaceutical and medical supply scope suggests either tagging error or significant code drift from its nominal definition.
