UNSPSC 51282200: Cephamycins

This classification denotes naturally occurring antibiotics having a 7-methoxy group and possessing marked resistance to the action of beta-lactamases from gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.

UNSPSC 51282200 Cephamycins is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a broader range of pharmaceutical and medical supply categories than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers are soliciting cephalosporin antibiotics alongside naloxone, over-the-counter products, medical and first aid supplies, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment programs. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county health departments, municipal fire departments, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances. Florida's Seminole County, Texas HHS, the City of Tampa, and Minnesota's MMCAP represent the mix of jurisdictions actively procuring under or adjacent to this code.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a July 26, 2026 bid deadline. The City of Tampa posted an IFB (26P00145) in March 2026 for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a response deadline of March 13, 2026, designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. Minnesota's MMCAP issued an RFP (S1070000015802) in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract performance beginning July 1, 2026. Texas HHS issued an RFI (HHS0017013) in April 2026 to gather market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, indicating preliminary stages of future formal procurement in that state.
