This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic with the molecular structure C16H16N2O7S2.2NA, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier, 29SO9LIM1Q chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-((2-phenyl-2-sulfoacetyl)amino)-, sodium salt (1:2), (2s,5r,6r)-, but more commonly known as sulbenicillin sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 443984.

UNSPSC 51282139 Sulbenicillin sodium is a Commodity code representing a specific pharmaceutical product; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under this code do not reflect procurement of sulbenicillin sodium itself. Instead, the opportunities show state and local health agencies and counties soliciting other pharmaceutical products — antibiotic tablets, naloxone, and drug deactivation systems — through cooperative purchasing vehicles and competitive bidding. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought under it do not align, suggesting either misclassification in the source system or that sulbenicillin sodium procurement activity does not presently appear in the state and local market in measurable volume.

The Illinois Department of Public Health completed an award through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets on a piggyback contract worth $2,999,999.11 over three years. Seminole County, Florida released an Invitation for Bid (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, to procure 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries through June 2026 and beyond. Both solicitations involve state or county health departments as the buying bodies and represent supply agreements for pharmaceutical and medical-response products through warehousing and direct-purchase models. The code shows limited and geographically scattered recent activity, concentrated in Illinois and Florida, with no clear pattern of repeat solicitations or standout regional activity under this specific code.
