UNSPSC 51282417: Carbenicillin phenyl sodium

This classification denotes an extended spectrum penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C23H21N2O6S.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 18N5JP36GY, chemically known as n-(2-carboxy-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)hept-6-yl)-2-phenylmalonamic acid 1-phenyl ester sodium salt, but more generally known as carbenicillin phenyl sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 30728.

UNSPSC 51282417 Carbenicillin phenyl sodium is a Commodity code intended to classify a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve different drug categories entirely — naloxone, doxycycline hyclate, and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride — rather than carbenicillin formulations. State and local governments procure pharmaceutical products through a mix of direct purchase and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MMCAP Infuse, with delivery and storage requirements tied to specific public health agencies, community health facilities, or emergency response programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of public health and county health departments; in this case, the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida appear in recent records.

Recent activity is geographically sparse, with tagged opportunities limited to Illinois and Florida as of mid-2026. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse consortium in August 2026 (Solicitation 26482DPHPREPDB53392, Invitation for Bid, $2,999,999.11 over 12 months with renewal options for years 2 and 3) for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026 with a July 26, 2023 response deadline seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building and potential FEMA funding. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (carbenicillin phenyl sodium) and the actual pharmaceutical products in these solicitations suggests the code shows limited recent activity aligned to its stated definition.
