UNSPSC 51282510: Cefazedone

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C18H15Cl2N5O5S3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 7Y86X0D799, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((3,5-dichloro-4-oxo-1(4h)-pyridinyl)acetyl)amino)-3-(((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)methyl)-8-oxo-, (6r-trans)- but generally known as cefazedone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 71736.

UNSPSC 51282510 Cefazedone, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical products procured by state and local health agencies, though recent solicitation activity shows the code capturing a broader range of pharmaceutical supplies and medical countermeasures than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments use this code to classify purchases of prescription medications and emergency health supplies distributed through public health infrastructure, including hospital systems, community health facilities, and emergency preparedness programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments and county health authorities managing pharmaceutical inventories for disease prevention, emergency response, and public health initiatives.

Activity under the code spans Illinois and Florida in the recent record. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 (Solicitation 26482DPHPREPDB53392) covering Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets across a 12-month initial term with two-year renewal options; the award was completed via Invitation for Bid with no set-asides or domestic-product preferences applied. Seminole County, Florida released an Invitation for Bid (IFB 60459723LAS) in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building, under a two-year initial term with a one-year renewal option; the procurement noted potential FEMA funding and required vendor compliance with federal environmental and employment-eligibility standards. The mismatch between the Cefazedone code designation and the actual pharmaceutical products in these awards suggests either code-tagging inconsistency in the state and local databases or that the code is used more broadly than its nominal scope.
