UNSPSC 51282116: Pivampicillin

This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C22H29N3O6S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 0HLM346LL7, chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 6-((aminophenylacetyl)amino)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-, (2,2-dimethyl-1-oxopropoxy)methyl ester, (2s-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta(s*)))- but generally known as pivampicillin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 33478.

UNSPSC 51282116 Pivampicillin is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific penicillin-class antibiotic, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of pivampicillin itself. Instead, the code appears to be used as a catch-all tag for pharmaceutical procurement that includes antibiotics, opioid-reversal agents, and drug-deactivation systems. State and local health departments, counties, and community health authorities use this code when sourcing pharmaceutical products through competitive bidding and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as piggyback contracts and consortia. The work involves securing pharmaceutical inventory for public health, emergency response, and harm-reduction initiatives, with vendors typically required to meet drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, insurance coverage thresholds, and delivery scheduling obligations.

Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the kinds of issuing bodies active under this code. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 covering Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets on a 12-month initial term with two optional renewal years. Seminole County issued an IFB in June 2026 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, requiring electronic bid submission and fixed unit pricing. Recent activity clusters in Florida and Illinois, with both jurisdictions emphasizing cooperative purchasing mechanisms and vendor compliance with federal and state labor and environmental regulations.
