UNSPSC 51282400: Extended-spectrum penicillins

This classification denotes Penicillin-derived antibiotics with wide antibacterial spectrum, hence the designation Extended-Spectrum Penicillins.

UNSPSC 51282400 Extended-spectrum penicillins is a Class code covering antibiotic pharmaceutical products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code includes broader pharmaceutical acquisitions and community health supply procurement that extends beyond the narrow scope of the code's nominal product category. State and local issuing bodies have used this code to tag pharmaceutical warehouse orders, naloxone procurement, and drug deactivation system acquisitions, indicating that classification practice diverges substantially from the code's formal definition. The purchasing pattern reflects a mix of state health departments and county government acquisitions for pharmaceutical supply chains and emergency response capabilities, with work flowing through both direct procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as consortium piggyback contracts.

Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for pharmaceutical warehouse supply, including doxycycline hyclate 100mg tablets and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg tablets, under an Invitation for Bid process with a 12-month initial term and two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026 for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building, though this opportunity's posted due date of July 26, 2023 and its focus on naloxone and drug deactivation systems diverges significantly from the code's pharmaceutical scope. Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Florida; the code shows limited breadth of recent comparable opportunities aligned to its formal definition, suggesting this classification may not be the primary vehicle for extended-spectrum penicillin procurement in state and local markets.
