UNSPSC 51281718: Bacampicillin hydrochloride

This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C21H27N3O7S.ClH, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier PM034U953T, chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 6-((aminophenylacetyl)amino)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-, 1-((ethoxycarbonyl)oxy)ethyl ester, monohydrochloride, (2s-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta(s*)))- but more generally known as bacampicillin hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 71429.

UNSPSC 51281718 Bacampicillin hydrochloride is a Commodity code that covers individual pharmaceutical products used in state and local healthcare procurement. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct activity for bacampicillin itself; instead, the opportunities reflect broader pharmaceutical supply and emergency-response medication procurement. State and local issuing bodies—including state health departments and county health authorities—use codes in this family to source specific oral antibiotics, antibiotic tablets, and related pharmaceutical products through piggyback agreements with established pharmaceutical consortiums, emergency health initiatives, and direct competitive bidding processes. The work involves warehouse supply contracts with fixed unit pricing, quarterly or scheduled deliveries to designated facilities, and compliance with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, with recent examples including Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for antibiotic tablets (Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg) with a total award of $2,999,999.11 over the contract life. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB on June 30, 2026 for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems (1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually) with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building. The bacampicillin code itself does not appear in active recent solicitations; business development efforts should focus on state health departments and county health authorities that manage emergency-response and routine pharmaceutical supply through cooperative purchasing vehicles and competitive bidding.
