UNSPSC 51282519: Cefacetrile sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C13H12N3O6S.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 87TH1FJY1N, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(2-cyanoacetamido)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-8-oxo-, acetate (ester), monosodium salt but more generally known as cefacetrile sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 31725.

European Medicines Agency schedules Cefacetrile sodium in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01094MIG. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule cefacetrile sodium under HS 29419000. SMILES: CC(=O)OCC1=C(N2[C@@H]([C@@H](C2=O)NC(=O)CC#N)SC1)C(=O)[O-].[NA+].

UNSPSC 51282519 Cefacetrile sodium, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific injectable antibiotic (cefacetrile sodium), yet the recent opportunities posted under it involve naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, emergency medical and first aid supplies, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products. The actual work being solicited under this code spans emergency response consumables, pharmacy benefit program administration, and broad pharmaceutical procurement through cooperative purchasing agreements — none of which align with cefacetrile sodium's therapeutic category. State and local bodies issuing under this code include county health departments, state health and human services agencies, municipal fire departments, and state cooperative purchasing organizations spanning Florida, Texas, and Minnesota.

Recent representative opportunities include Seminole County, Florida's IFB 60459723LAS (due July 26, 2023) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems with annual deliveries to the county community health building; the City of Tampa's ITB 26P00145 (due March 13, 2026) for medical and first aid supplies supporting the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with an estimated contract value of $700,000; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP S1070000015802 (due March 26, 2026) to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission also issued RFI HHS0017013 (due April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The code shows no recent activity meaningfully tied to cefacetrile sodium procurement, suggesting either a cataloging error in the underlying database or that the code is functioning as a catch-all for pharmaceutical and health-supply procurement across multiple therapeutic and supply categories.
