UNSPSC 51282517: Cefradine or cephradine

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier F1BC02I72W. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefradine in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07417MIG. Cefradine generally arises in the molecular formula C16H19N3O4S.

The term CEFRADINE is an International Non-Proprietary Name or INN (see WHO INN reference publication, Volume 26, no. 10 1972, list 12.) CEFRADINE is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix. Cefradine or cephradine bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0007738 and NCI Concept Code C47441. SMILES: S1C2N(C(=O)C2NC(=O)C(N)C2=CCC=CC2)C(=C(C1)C)C(=O)O.

UNSPSC 51282517 Cefradine or cephradine is a Commodity code nominally covering a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities instead reflect broader pharmaceutical procurement — naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals distributed through wholesalers. State and local buyers appear to tag general pharmaceutical and medical supply solicitations under this code, though the work being transacted does not consistently involve cefradine or cephalosporin products. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), city fire departments (Tampa Fire Department), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, MMCAP). The geographic spread encompasses Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota, and Oregon through cooperative arrangements.

Recent opportunities include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly delivery, the Texas HHS Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs and pharmacy benefit capabilities, the City of Tampa's sealed-bid solicitation 26P00145 (due March 13, 2026, estimated at $700,000.00) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division with an SLBE set-aside and 5% bid discount, and MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 (due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (Cencora), Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson Co., LLC. The code shows active procurement activity across state agencies, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles, though the commodity-level specificity of the UNSPSC designation does not align tightly with the generalist pharmaceutical and medical supply buying actually occurring.
