UNSPSC 51282121: Sulbactam

This classification denotes a beta-lactam antibiotic with the molecular formula C8H11NO5S, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier S4TF6I2330, chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-, 4,4-dioxide, (2s-cis)- but more generally known as sulbactam, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 50161. The European Medicines Agency schedules Sulbactam in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB10676MIG.

UNSPSC 51282121 Sulbactam (Commodity) covers injectable and oral pharmaceutical products sourced through state and local government procurement channels, though recent opportunities tagged under this code show limited direct alignment with sulbactam itself. State and local health departments, counties, and public health authorities solicit pharmaceutical supplies — both branded and generic — through cooperative purchasing vehicles (piggyback contracts on established consortiums like MMCAP Infuse), competitive bidding, and fixed-price supply agreements. The work involves bulk pharmaceutical warehouse orders with defined expiration dates, quarterly or scheduled deliveries, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options. Issuing bodies include state public health departments and county health systems; the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida appear in recent activity.

Geographic activity centers on Illinois and Florida based on recent postings. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical supply contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 covering Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets on a 12-month initial term with renewal options. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB on June 30, 2026 (response deadline July 26, 2023) for annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries to the county community health building; that procurement carried potential FEMA funding and required E-Verify compliance. Both opportunities were awarded or released as fixed-price, competitive solicitations with multi-year structures. The code shows pharmaceutical supply activity but limited recent opportunities explicitly tagged to sulbactam as a named product line.
