UNSPSC 51282800: Imidazoles

This classification denotes antibiotics containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons.

UNSPSC 51282800 Imidazoles, a Class code, encompasses pharmaceutical products in the imidazole chemical family that state and local public health and emergency response agencies procure for clinical, emergency medical, and community health programs. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code captures competitive purchases of specific pharmaceutical formulations—such as naloxone for opioid-overdose response and antibiotic tablets—acquired through piggyback contracts, cooperative purchasing consortia, and direct invitation-for-bid processes. Issuing bodies include state departments of public health and county health authorities; the activity reflects procurement demand driven by emergency preparedness, disease prevention, and community health infrastructure rather than by a narrow chemical category.

The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets on a 12-month initial term with two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB in June 2026 for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building and a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option. Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Florida; no other states appear in the available opportunities. The code shows modest but concrete recent activity centered on pharmaceutical procurement by state and county public health organizations for emergency response and disease management.
