UNSPSC 51282413 Carbenicillin disodium is a Commodity code nominally covering a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The opportunities posted instead span medical and first aid supplies, generic pharmaceuticals, naloxone distribution, and pharmacy benefit management — a range that suggests the code may be misapplied to broader pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement, or that state and local buyers are using it as a catch-all for pharmacy-related purchases. The actual work being solicited includes emergency medical supplies for fire departments, generic pharmaceutical products through multi-state cooperative purchasing, naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment capabilities. Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing departments (City of Tampa), county health systems (Seminole County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). The code shows limited recent activity and does not reflect procurement of carbenicillin disodium as a discrete product line.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, and Texas. The City of Tampa issued an IFB for medical and first aid supplies (Bid 26P00145) due March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises at 5 percent discount. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems with a July 26, 2023 due date. Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued an RFP (S1070000015802) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products due March 26, 2026, with awards effective July 1, 2026, requiring vendors to maintain relationships with authorized wholesalers and comply with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI (HHS0017013) on April 3, 2026 to gather market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment capabilities. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content, this code warrants close review for data-integrity issues or reconsideration of pursuit strategy.
