UNSPSC 51281714: Ampicillin anhydrous

This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C16H19N3O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 7C782967RD, chemically known as penicillin, (aminophenylmethyl)- but more generally known as ampicillin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2174.

Ampicillin comes in various forms, including a, acid, anhydrate, anhydrous, base, benzathine, hydrate, natrium, n,n-dibenzylethylenediamine salt, pivaloyloxymethyl ester, pivaloyloxymethyl ester hydrochloride, potassium, sodium, and trihydrate and is often combined with cloxacillin and dicloxacillin sodium. European Medicines Agency schedules Ampicillin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB05487MIG.

UNSPSC 51281714 Ampicillin anhydrous, a Commodity code, classifies pharmaceutical products for state and local health systems, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal relevant procurement. The source records two state and local opportunities tagged to pharmaceutical procurement — one from the Illinois Department of Public Health and one from Seminole County, Florida — but neither involves ampicillin anhydrous. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets, with an initial 12-month term and renewal options for years 2 and 3. Seminole County issued an IFB for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually for community health initiatives, with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option. Both solicitations reflect state health departments and county health authorities as the primary issuing bodies for pharmaceutical procurement, typically using piggyback cooperative purchasing agreements or competitive IFB processes.

The geographic spread of documented activity centers on Florida and Illinois, though the source does not support broader characterization of ampicillin anhydrous procurement nationally. The Illinois Department of Public Health award was completed on August 28, 2026, with no open solicitation remaining. Seminole County's Naloxone and drug deactivation procurement was posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 — an inconsistency in the source data that renders the deadline unreliable. Neither opportunity directly solicits ampicillin anhydrous, and the source contains insufficient recent activity specifically targeting this commodity to support a reliable assessment of current state and local demand for it.
