UNSPSC 51282328 Erythromycin succinate is a Commodity code that nominally names a single antibiotic product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect a much broader pharmaceutical and medical-supply procurement activity—including naloxone, general medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The code shows little activity aligned to erythromycin itself; rather, it appears state and local health authorities are using it as a catch-all tag for pharmaceutical and medical-supply solicitations across diverse product categories. The issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), city fire and rescue services (City of Tampa), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, or MMCAP). Work under the code spans product sourcing for emergency medical response, community health initiatives, employee pharmacy benefit programs, and inventory replenishment for fire departments and healthcare facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. The Seminole County Community Health Department posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking annual procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems with quarterly deliveries and a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: the listed due date appears inconsistent with the posting date). The City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued IFB 26P00145 on March 25, 2026, for medical and first aid supplies (169 line items) for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division with a response deadline of March 13, 2026, an estimated contract value of $700,000.00, and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, administering MMCAP, posted RFP S1070000015802 on January 20, 2026, seeking generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products for participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract effectiveness July 1, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026, as an exploratory information-gathering mechanism regarding direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, with no formal award timeline or budget identified at the RFI stage.
