UNSPSC 51281702 Amoxicillin is a Commodity code representing a single pharmaceutical product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with amoxicillin procurement specifically. The code appears to capture state and local government purchases of generic antibiotics and related pharmaceutical products for public health, emergency response, and benefits programs, though recent solicitations focus more broadly on naloxone, medical and first aid supplies, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription arrangements rather than amoxicillin alone. Issuing bodies include state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), municipal fire departments (Tampa Fire Department), and multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple jurisdictions including Oregon). The Tampa Fire Department solicitation is designated a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount.

Activity is concentrated in Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries; the City of Tampa's ITB 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Rescue Division with an estimated contract amount of $700,000; MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers with effectiveness July 1, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026, due April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (amoxicillin) and the broader pharmaceutical and medical-supply work actually being solicited suggests this Commodity code may be over-indexed in state and local procurement tagging systems.
