UNSPSC 51282422: Piperacillin hydrate

This classification denotes an extended spectrum penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C23H27N5O7S.H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier X00B0D5O0E, chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 6-(((2r)-(((4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinyl)carbonyl)amino)phenylacetyl)amino)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-, monohydrate, (2s,5r,6r)-, but more generally known as piperacillin hydrate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 73246.

European Medicines Agency schedules piperacillin hydrate or its base in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09867MIG. Most nations, for tariff purposes, schedule piperacillin hydrate under HS 29411090. SMILES: CCN1CCN(C(=O)C1=O)C(=O)N[C@H](C2CCCCC2)C(=O)N[C@H]3[C@@H]4N(C3=O)[C@H](C(S4)(C)C)C(=O)O.O.

UNSPSC 51282422 Piperacillin hydrate is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single antibiotic pharmaceutical product, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect a much broader procurement pattern: medical and first-aid supplies, naloxone and drug deactivation systems, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The actual buying under this code spans emergency medical consumables, pharmacy benefit administration, and acute-care pharmaceutical sourcing rather than a single-molecule therapeutic. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments, city fire and rescue divisions, state health and human services agencies, and cooperative purchasing alliances serving multiple state and local members. Seminole County, Florida; the City of Tampa; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) appear as recent buyers, reflecting a mix of local health authorities, municipal fire services, state pharmacy programs, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative vehicles.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. The Seminole County competitive bid (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for community health distribution with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term. The City of Tampa's sealed-bid solicitation (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) procured 169 line items of medical and first-aid supplies—respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, and consumables—for the Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a SLBE set-aside. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through three authorized wholesalers across participating state and local government facilities. The Texas HHS Commission posted a Request for Information (HHS0017013, April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager arrangements. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the breadth of actual procurements suggests this code is being applied inconsistently across state and local procurement systems to cover pharmaceutical and medical-supply categories more broadly.
