UNSPSC 51282425 Temocillin sodium is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement than its narrow drug name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying emergency medical supplies, naloxone and drug deactivation systems, generic pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing agreements, and over-the-counter products for health departments, fire departments, and correctional or public health facilities. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving Minnesota, Oregon, and other participating jurisdictions). The code sees activity from health agencies procuring pharmaceutical inventory for emergency response and ongoing clinical use, as well as from correctional, fire, and public health operations sourcing medical consumables and controlled substances in bulk.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Seminole County's IFB for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023), with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building and contract funding potentially through FEMA; the City of Tampa's IFB for medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, encompassing 169 line items with an estimated contract amount of $700,000.00 and designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000 (due March 13, 2026); the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (proposals due March 26, 2026, with awards effective July 1, 2026, requiring vendor relationships with AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, or Morris & Dickson wholesalers); and the Texas HHS Commission's RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs (posted April 3, 2026) to explore vendor capacity for direct contracting outside traditional pharmacy benefit managers and group purchasing organizations.
