UNSPSC 51282122 Azidocillin sodium is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific antibiotic product, but recent state and local solicitations posted under this code show a substantial mismatch: the actual procurement activity involves a broad range of pharmaceutical products including naloxone, medical and first aid supplies, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products—many of which bear no relationship to azidocillin sodium. State and local buyers using this code are purchasing emergency medical supplies, pharmacy benefit program products, and consumable medical goods for fire departments and community health initiatives, not azidocillin-specific procurement. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), municipal fire departments (Tampa Fire Department), and cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). The mismatch between the code's nominal product name and the work actually being solicited suggests that either the code is being misapplied in state and local catalogs or the taxonomy entry itself does not align with contemporary procurement practice in this space.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries and a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: the due date appears anomalous relative to the posting date). The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued ITB 26P00145 in March 2026 for medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, totaling an estimated $700,000, with a response deadline of March 13, 2026, structured as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 to establish contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026. Texas HHS issued RFI HHS0017013 in April 2026 to gather market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, posted April 3, 2026 with the same response deadline, representing preliminary procurement planning rather than a formal competitive solicitation.
