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 that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but the recent opportunities tagged to it involve unrelated drugs—doxycycline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, and naloxone—rather than cefradine or cephradine compounds. State and local health departments and county governments do procure antibiotics and emergency pharmaceutical supplies through piggyback contracts, cooperative purchasing consortia, and competitive bidding, but the opportunities in the current record do not substantiate active buying of the product this code describes.

The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride under an Invitation for Bid process, and Seminole County, Florida released an IFB in June 2026 for 1,900 units of naloxone annually with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option. Neither solicitation sought cefradine or cephradine. The code appears to see little current state and local activity; vendors tracking this commodity should monitor for health department RFPs and cooperative purchasing vehicles in states with active pharmaceutical procurement programs, but the recent record does not support immediate pursuit under this specific code designation.
