UNSPSC 51282929: Pefloxacin

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic with the molecular formula C17H20FN3O3, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 2H52Z9F2Q5, chemically known as 3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-7-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-4-oxo- but generally known as pefloxacin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 51081. European Medicines Agency schedules Pefloxacin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09645MIG.

UNSPSC 51282929 Pefloxacin (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally identifies a specific fluoroquinolone antibiotic, but the two most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve procurements of unrelated pharmaceutical products—Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets in one case, and Naloxone plus drug deactivation systems in another—neither of which is pefloxacin. This mismatch suggests the code may be used inconsistently in state and local procurement systems, or that the recent opportunities were misclassified at posting.

The Illinois Department of Public Health issued the sole completed pharmaceutical warehouse award in the recent record: a piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC, posted August 28, 2026, for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an Invitation for Bid process, with a total contract value of $2,999,999.11 over three years including renewals. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems on June 30, 2026, requiring 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. Neither opportunity involves pefloxacin procurement. The code generates too little aligned activity to characterize with confidence; firms evaluating pefloxacin supply opportunities should seek direct engagement with state health department procurement offices rather than rely on current UNSPSC tagging in this code.
