UNSPSC 51282528: Cefatrizine propylene glycol

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C18H18N6O5S2.C3H8O2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 3731IA5GI9, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((2r)-2-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetyl)amino)-8-oxo-3-((1h-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylthio)methyl)-, (6r,7r)-, compd. with 1,2-propanediol (1:1), but more generally known as cefatrizine propylene glycol, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6410757.

European Medicines Agency schedules cefatrizine propylene glycol or its base in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07376MIG. Most nations, for tariff purposes, schedule cefatrizine propylene glycol under HS 29419000. SMILES: CC(CO)O.C1CC(CCC1[C@H](C(=O)N[C@H]2[C@@H]3N(C2=O)C(=C(CS3)CSC4CNN[NH]4)C(=O)O)N)O.

UNSPSC 51282528 Cefatrizine propylene glycol is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not align with pharmaceutical active ingredients or formulations. The opportunities posted under this code span naloxone procurement, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing — none of which target cefatrizine specifically or propose it as a line item. The code appears to have been misapplied to broader health supply and pharmaceutical distribution solicitations rather than to a specific active pharmaceutical ingredient. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance administering on behalf of state and local government facilities across multiple jurisdictions including Oregon).

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and the Upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest through the MMCAP cooperative vehicle. The most recent representative opportunity is Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS, an invitation to bid for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford and a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The City of Tampa's 26P00145 IFB, posted March 25, 2026 with a March 13, 2026 response date, solicits 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and designated as a sheltered procurement for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through authorized wholesalers, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract effectiveness targeted for July 1, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope as a cefatrizine propylene glycol ingredient.
