UNSPSC 51282505: Cefaloridine or cephaloridine

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C19H17N3O4S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier LVZ1VC61HB, chemically known as pyridinium, 1-((2-carboxy-8-oxo-7-((2-thienylacetyl)amino)-5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-en-3-yl)methyl)-, inner salt, (6r-trans)- but generally known as cefaloridine, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5773. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefaloridine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06169MIG.

UNSPSC 51282505 Cefaloridine or cephaloridine is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it in recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a specific antibiotic, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve acquisition of naloxone, safe drug deactivation systems, medical and first aid supplies, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products—none of which are cephaloridine. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a systemic tagging issue rather than meaningful demand for cefaloridine itself.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple jurisdictions and buying bodies: Seminole County, Florida (naloxone and drug deactivation systems); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs); the City of Tampa (medical and first aid supplies through an IFB with a March 13, 2026 response date and $700,000 estimated value); and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through an RFP with a March 26, 2026 response date). The geographic spread covers Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with cooperative purchasing vehicles active in multistate environments. Because the code's nominal scope and the actual procurements are fundamentally misaligned, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to pursue cefaloridine supply contracts with state and local bodies.
