UNSPSC 51282427: Ticarcillin disodium

This classification denotes an extended spectrum penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C15H14N2O6S2.2Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier G8TVV6DSYG, chemically known as 4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 6-((carboxy-3-thienylacetyl)amino)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-, disodium salt, (2s-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta(s*)))- but more generally known as ticarcillin disodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 20823.

UNSPSC 51282427 Ticarcillin disodium is a Commodity code for a specific injectable antibiotic, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect pharmaceutical procurement aligned with ticarcillin's clinical use. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, but the actual products supplied were Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets—oral antibiotics unrelated to ticarcillin disodium. Similarly, Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems, which fall entirely outside the scope of antibiotic procurement. The tagging of these opportunities under UNSPSC 51282427 represents a classification mismatch; neither reflects actual buying activity for ticarcillin disodium or related injectables.

State and local government procurement activity under this code shows little relevant current volume. The issuing bodies present—a state health department and a county government—are typical pharmaceutical buyers, but their recent solicitations address different product lines. Geographic activity, where present, spans Illinois and Florida, but the opportunities do not signal demand for ticarcillin disodium specifically. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat the posted opportunities as misclassified and confirm whether ticarcillin disodium procurement occurs under different UNSPSC codes or through cooperative purchasing agreements before committing resources to pursue opportunities tagged here.
