UNSPSC 51282409: Piperacillin

This classification denotes an extended spectrum penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C23H27N5O7S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 9I628532GX, chemically known as 6-(d-(-)-alpha-(4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)phenylacetamido)penicillanic acid but generally known as piperacillin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 43672. European Medicines Agency schedules Piperacillin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09867MIG.

UNSPSC 51282409 Piperacillin, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, yet the posted opportunities involve naloxone procurement, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy initiatives, emergency medical supplies for fire rescue operations, and generic multi-source pharmaceutical contracts — none of which reference piperacillin or antibiotics specifically. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that piperacillin itself appears as a line item within broader pharmaceutical and medical supply procurements but does not drive the scope of work being solicited.

Recent activity under this code shows involvement from Seminole County, Florida (health services), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (pharmacy benefit programs), the City of Tampa Fire Department (emergency medical supplies), and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple states including Oregon. Geographic spread encompasses Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (Jul 26, 2023 response date) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems; the Texas HHS RFI HHS0017013 (Apr 3, 2026 response date) exploring direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs; the City of Tampa's IFB 26P00145 (Mar 13, 2026 response date) for medical and first aid supplies to the Fire Department Rescue Division, a sheltered SLBE procurement with an estimated contract value of $700,000; and the Minnesota MMCAP RFP S1070000015802 (Mar 26, 2026 response date) for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers. The lack of piperacillin-specific solicitations suggests limited current procurement activity under this code at the state and local level.
