UNSPSC 51282931: Moxifloxacin

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier U188XYD42P. European Medicines Agency schedules Moxifloxacin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB09086MIG. Moxifloxacin generally arises in the molecular formula C21H24FN3O4.

UNSPSC 51282931 Moxifloxacin is a Commodity code representing specific pharmaceutical products — in this case, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic — that state and local health agencies procure for public health inventory and emergency response. The code sees procurement activity from state health departments and county health authorities acquiring pharmaceutical supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles and competitive bidding processes. Recent opportunities reveal that state and local buyers source these products via piggyback contracts through established pharmacy consortia and through direct IFB processes, with suppliers typically required to meet drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify compliance, and insurance requirements including workers' compensation and professional liability coverage.

Recent activity under this code is limited. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for antibiotic supplies with a three-year value of $2.99 million, though the specific products listed under that award (Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride) differ from the moxifloxacin code designation. A Seminole County, Florida IFB posted in June 2026 (due July 26, 2023 — an inconsistent date in the source) solicited naloxone and drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries required to the county health building, indicating broader pharmaceutical and emergency-response procurement activity in Florida. The geographic spread and issuing-body mix remain narrow in the recent record — Illinois and Florida are the only states represented — suggesting this code segment may see episodic rather than continuous procurement activity at the state and local level.
