UNSPSC 51282119: Hetacillin

This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C19H23N3O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier TN4JSC48CV, chemically known as 6-(2,2-dimethyl-5-oxo-4-phenyl-1-imidazolidinyl)penicillansaeure but generally known as hetacillin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3596. European Medicines Agency schedules Hetacillin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08020MIG. The term HETACILLIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name.

UNSPSC 51282119 Hetacillin is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally refers to a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical, but the four most recent opportunities solicited under this code — naloxone and drug deactivation systems, therapeutic pharmacy direct-to-manufacturer prescriptions, general medical and first aid supplies, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products — represent a broad range of pharmaceutical and medical procurement unrelated to hetacillin. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are either mistagging opportunities at the commodity level or that the code has been repurposed as a catch-all for pharmaceutical acquisitions. Scope of work under this code in recent solicitations spans emergency response supplies (naloxone kits and drug disposal systems for public health departments), pharmacy benefit program strategy and direct contracting with manufacturers, medical supplies for first responders (respiratory equipment, monitoring devices, airway supplies, bandaging materials, and consumables), and wholesale pharmaceutical distribution arrangements for multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and multi-state cooperative arrangements. Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually with a July 26, 2023 response deadline. The City of Tampa posted ITB 26P00145 on March 25, 2026, for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and an SLBE set-aside designation offering a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026, exploring vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional PBM and wholesaler channels. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) posted RFP S1070000015802 on January 20, 2026, for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract awards effective July 1, 2026. Issuing bodies include county health departments, city fire departments, state health commissions, and multi-state cooperative purchasing organizations.
