UNSPSC 51282606: Cefquinome

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C23H24N6O5S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier, Z74S078CWP chemically known as 1-(((6r,7r)-7-(2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)glyoxylamido)-2-carboxy-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-en-3-yl)methyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolinium hydroxide, inner salt, 72-(z)-(o-methyloxime) but generally known as cefquinome, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 9571084.

UNSPSC 51282606 Cefquinome, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally refers to a specific veterinary antibiotic; however, the four most recent solicitations involve naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products for government health systems. None of these procurements concern cefquinome or match the code's stated scope. State and local buying activity under this code shows little relevant recent volume, and the misclassification suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or that state and local agencies do not currently solicit cefquinome through standard procurement channels.

The geographic footprint of the unrelated tagged opportunities spans Florida (Seminole County), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a multistate cooperative purchasing alliance anchored in Minnesota with participation from Oregon and other jurisdictions. Without authentic cefquinome procurement records, no reliable assessment of this code's current market activity, issuing-body mix, or geographic concentration is possible. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for pharmaceutical products of interest or confirm whether cefquinome demand exists in their target state and local markets through direct agency outreach rather than relying on this code's recent posting history.
