UNSPSC 51282904: Balofloxacin

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic with the molecular formula C20H24FN3O4, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Q022B63JPM, chemically known as 3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-8-methoxy-7-(3-(methylamino)-1-piperidinyl)-4-oxo- but generally known as balofloxacin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 65958. Balofloxacin most often comes in base and hydrate forms.

UNSPSC 51282904 Balofloxacin, a Commodity code, covers pharmaceutical products, though the recent opportunities posted under this code actually procure related antimicrobial and public-health medications rather than balofloxacin itself. State and local health departments and county governments issue solicitations under this taxonomy tier, typically through piggyback arrangements with cooperative purchasing consortiums (such as MMCAP Infuse) or direct competitive bidding. The work involves sourcing pharmaceutical inventory—tablets, injections, and related medical supplies—for distribution through public health systems, emergency response programs, and community health initiatives. Vendors must meet standard compliance requirements including drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify authorization, and federal regulatory adherence when FEMA funding is involved.

The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the recent activity under this code. The Illinois DPH awarded a $2,999,999.11 three-year piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC (through the MMCAP Infuse consortium, IFB 26482DPHPREPDB53392, awarded August 28, 2026) for pharmaceutical warehouse supply of Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets. Seminole County issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The geographic spread remains limited in the recent-opportunities record to Florida and Illinois; activity outside these states is not evident in the available postings.
