UNSPSC 51281700: Aminopenicillins

This classification denotes third-generation and semi-synthetic penicillins and antibiotics that evince activity against penicillin-sensitive gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negative bacteria, generally called AMINO-PENICILLINS or AMINOPENICILLINS, such as Ampicillin.

UNSPSC 51281700 Aminopenicillins is a Class code that covers pharmaceutical products supplied to state and local health agencies, though recent solicitations posted under this code show limited direct alignment with the aminopenicillin product category. State and local governments procure these pharmaceuticals primarily through piggyback contracts leveraging established cooperative purchasing consortia and through direct competitive bidding by county health departments. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for pharmaceutical warehouse supply, though the awarded products (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride) fall outside the aminopenicillin classification. Issuing bodies include state health departments and county health systems procuring on behalf of community health initiatives, with purchasing mechanisms favoring cooperative vehicles and Invitation for Bid processes to manage pricing and vendor qualification.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Illinois. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB in June 2026 for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with a July 26, 2026 response deadline and quarterly delivery requirements to the county's community health building in Sanford; this procurement similarly sits outside the aminopenicillin scope but indicates state and local pharmaceutical and health-supply procurement activity in the region. The code shows limited recent opportunities directly matching aminopenicillin products, suggesting either sparse purchasing demand under this specific class or classification mismatches in posted solicitations.
