UNSPSC 51282503: Cefalexin or cephalexin

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier OBN7UDS42Y. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefalexin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06165MIG. Cefalexin generally arises in the molecular formula C16H17N3O4S. The term CEFALEXIN is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN. CEFALEXIN is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix.

Cefalexin or cephalexin bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0007716 and NCI Concept Code C356. SMILES: S1C2N(C(=O)C2NC(=O)C(N)C2CCCCC2)C(=C(C1)C)C(=O)O.

UNSPSC 51282503 Cefalexin or cephalexin is a Commodity code for a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with cefalexin procurement. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets, neither of which is cefalexin. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, which falls entirely outside the scope of a cefalexin pharmaceutical code. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities appearing under it are unrelated to the actual commodity it describes.

State and local health departments, counties, and special-purpose districts do procure generic and brand-name antibiotics for pharmacy warehouse stock and emergency response inventories through cooperative purchasing consortia and competitive bidding processes. However, the specific recent postings under this code do not reflect cefalexin demand or supply patterns. Without concrete evidence of active state and local solicitation for cefalexin itself, the code does not present a clear current procurement signal. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local health agencies in their target geographies are issuing separate RFPs or RFQs for cefalexin stock, as the UNSPSC tagging here appears to be a classification error rather than a reflection of genuine market activity under this commodity code.
