UNSPSC 51282120: Azidocillin potassium

This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic C16H16N5O4S.K, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 7932098147, chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 6-((azidophenylacetyl)amino)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-, monopotassium salt, (2s-(2.alpha.,5.alpha.,6.beta.(s*)))-, but more generally known as azidocillin potassium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 71587048.

UNSPSC 51282120 Azidocillin potassium is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with that narrow scope. The two most recent records describe a completed pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback award through Illinois Department of Public Health for broad-spectrum antibiotics (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride) and a separate Seminole County, Florida procurement for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems — neither of which are azidocillin potassium. The code appears to be catching miscellaneous pharmaceutical supply opportunities rather than targeting a specific active ingredient. State and local buying under this code, when present, involves health departments and county agencies procuring pharmaceutical inventory through competitive bidding processes, often leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles or piggyback arrangements to access pre-negotiated pricing.

Recent activity centers on Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for a total of $2.999 million over 12 months with two renewal options, using an Invitation for Bid process; that award is closed and not an open solicitation. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the county's Community Health Building and a response deadline of July 26, 2023 — though that deadline date appears to be an error in the source record. The code shows limited recent open solicitation activity; most visibility comes from completed awards rather than active opportunities.
