UNSPSC 51282922: Merafloxacin

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic with the molecular formula C19H23F2N3O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier G6U51T1K77, chemically known as 3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 1-ethyl-7-(3-((ethylamino)methyl)-1-pyrrolidinyl)-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo- but generally known as merafloxacin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 121833. European Medicines Agency schedules Merafloxacin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08767MIG.

UNSPSC 51282922 Merafloxacin is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little relevant activity. The single opportunity directly named—Seminole County, Florida's IFB for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems—involves emergency response pharmaceuticals and harm-reduction supplies, not the veterinary antibiotic this code nominally describes. The three other recent solicitations (Texas HHS Commission's RFI on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, City of Tampa's medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department, and Minnesota MMCAP's generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products) address broad pharmaceutical procurement, wholesale distribution, and medical consumables, but none target the specific active pharmaceutical ingredient Merafloxacin. The code appears to be a mismatch with actual state and local buying patterns in the recent record, or issuing bodies are applying it to unrelated categories.

No representative opportunities under this code's nominal scope have posted in the recent record. State and local procurement activity visible under this UNSPSC tag consists of general pharmaceutical, medical supply, and emergency response purchasing across Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, but none name or seek Merafloxacin as a product line. Bidders should verify with issuing bodies whether this code accurately reflects their commodity interests before pursuing opportunities tagged under it, as the mismatch between the code's name and actual solicitation content signals potential classification error at the point of posting.
