UNSPSC 51282511: Cefazolin or cefazoline or cephazolin

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C14H14N8O4S3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier IHS69L0Y4T, chemically known as 7-(1-(1h-)-tetrazolylacetamido)-3-(2-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolyl)thiomethyl)delta3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid but generally known as cefazolin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 33255. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefazolin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07379MIG.

UNSPSC 51282511 Cefazolin or cefazoline or cephazolin is a Commodity code that captures antibiotic pharmaceuticals, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it show little activity directly aligned with cefazolin procurement. The Seminole County IFB soliciting naloxone and drug deactivation systems, the Texas HHS RFI on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, the City of Tampa IFB for medical and first aid supplies (respiratory equipment, electrodes, endotracheal tubes, bandaging materials, oxygen delivery systems), and the MMCAP RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products are all pharmaceutical or medical-supply procurements but do not target cefazolin specifically. The code's narrow scope—a single injectable antibiotic—does not align with the broad, multi-product purchasing patterns in these recent solicitations, suggesting the code sees limited standalone procurement activity at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in recent opportunities span county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and regional cooperative purchasing alliances (MMCAP, administered by Minnesota Department of Administration). Geographic activity appears in Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Without substantive recent solicitations specifically requesting cefazolin or cephalosporin antibiotics as primary line items, this code shows minimal current procurement signal at state and local government levels; vendors pursuing activity under UNSPSC 51282511 should monitor broader pharmaceutical framework agreements and hospital-system group purchasing contracts rather than expect dedicated cefazolin RFPs or IFBs.
