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 under which state and local governments procure pharmaceutical products and medical supplies, but recent solicitations under this code tag show little direct activity in carbenicillin itself — instead, they reflect a broader state and local buying pattern of naloxone, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, and medical consumables for emergency response and community health programs. The issuing bodies range across state health agencies, county public health departments, municipal fire departments, and cooperative purchasing alliances. The scope of work encompasses procurement of finished pharmaceutical products and medical supplies for inventory management and emergency use, with vendors required to meet FDA compliance, cGMP certification, Drug Supply Chain Security Act requirements, and specific insurance and E-Verify credentials. Contracts typically include quarterly or periodic delivery schedules, fixed or competitive pricing models, and initial terms of one to two years with renewal options.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Minnesota, with secondary involvement from Texas and Oregon. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department released an IFB (26P00145) for medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000, with a response deadline of March 13, 2026, and a 5 percent bid discount reserved for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued an RFP (S1070000015802) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with proposals due March 26, 2026, covering Minnesota and Oregon participants. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI (HHS0017013) in March 2026 to gather market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, signaling exploratory procurement strategy rather than imminent formal solicitation.
