UNSPSC 51282532: Cefazolin sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier P380M0454Z. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefazolin sodium in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01107MIG. Cefazolin sodium generally arises in the molecular formula C14H13N8NAO4S3. The term 'cefazolin sodium' is a United States Adopted Name designation. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule cefazolin sodium under HS 29419000.

As of Q4 2014, CEFAZOLIN SODIUM remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Cefazolin sodium bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0700526 and NCI Concept Code C47968. SMILES: CC1NNC(S1)SCC2=C(N3[C@@H]([C@@H](C3=O)NC(=O)CN4CNNN4)SC2)C(=O)[O-].[NA+].

UNSPSC 51282532 Cefazolin sodium is a Commodity code that classifies injectable antibiotic pharmaceuticals for institutional and public-health use. State and local governments procure this product through cooperative purchasing vehicles and piggyback contracts to supply hospitals, health departments, emergency services, and community health facilities. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health departments and county health authorities. Recent activity shows state departments of public health and county public-health agencies using consortium frameworks to aggregate demand and leverage existing pharmaceutical supplier contracts rather than conducting standalone solicitations for individual drugs.

The code shows limited recent activity specifically tagged to cefazolin sodium itself. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026, though that award covered doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride rather than cefazolin. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB in June 2026 for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, which similarly diverges from the cefazolin commodity scope. The geographic spread evident in recent postings includes Illinois and Florida; however, the two visible opportunities do not directly solicit cefazolin sodium, indicating that the code may see procurement activity through nonpublic cooperative-purchasing channels or that current demand is being met through existing framework agreements rather than open solicitations.
