UNSPSC 51282205: Cefmetazole sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C15H16N7O5S3.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 37Y9VR4W7A, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-((((cyanomethyl)thio)acetyl)amino)-7-methoxy-3-(((1-methyl-1h-tetrazol-5-yl)thio)methyl)-8-oxo-, (6r-cis)- but more generally known as cefmetazole sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 42008.

UNSPSC 51282205 Cefmetazole sodium is a Commodity code for a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little relevant procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The two opportunities in the recent record are a completed piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse award by the Illinois Department of Public Health for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, and a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems — neither involves cefmetazole sodium procurement. State and local health departments and counties do solicit antibiotics and emergency pharmaceuticals through piggyback cooperative purchasing agreements and competitive bids, but the specific product coded here does not appear in current posted activity.

The recent opportunities that are tagged under this code originate from state health departments and county public health or emergency services divisions pursuing pharmaceutical supplies through cooperative frameworks like MMCAP Infuse and direct IFB processes. The Illinois award to Chartwell Rx LLC was for $2,999,999.11 over three years including renewal options, with quarterly or annual delivery expected; Seminole County's bid, posted June 30, 2026 with a July 26, 2023 due date (a timing discrepancy in the source), called for 1,900 units of Naloxone annually with quarterly deliveries. Activity appears concentrated in large state and county health systems, though the code shows no current open solicitations specifically for cefmetazole sodium itself. Firms pursuing antibiotic or emergency-pharmaceutical supply contracts should monitor state health department piggyback awards and county health/emergency services IFBs more broadly, as this specific code does not currently reflect active procurement demand for cefmetazole.
