UNSPSC 51282947: Tioxacin

This classification denotes a quinolone antibiotic with the molecular formula C14H12N2O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 0K40CNM74K, chemically known as 6-ethyl-2,3,6,9-tetrahydro-3-methyl-2,9-dioxothiazolo(5,4-f)quinoline-8-carboxylic acid but generally known as tioxacin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 65788. European Medicines Agency schedules Tioxacin in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB11096MIG.

UNSPSC 51282947 Tioxacin is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the tioxacin specification itself. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida have posted opportunities involving antibiotic and emergency-response pharmaceutical supplies—Doxycycline Hyclate, Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, Naloxone, and drug deactivation systems—suggesting that state and local buyers use this code tier to tag pharmaceutical procurement more broadly, including antibiotics, opioid-reversal agents, and related medical commodities. The mix of issuing bodies reflects public health departments and county agencies managing emergency preparedness and community health inventories, often through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MMCAP Infuse to negotiate volume discounts and streamline procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for $2,999,999.11 over three years (12-month initial term plus two one-year renewals) covering Doxycycline and Ciprofloxacin tablets under Invitation for Bid through the MMCAP Infuse consortium. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB on June 30, 2026, 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 county required electronic bid submission, drug-free workplace certification, and E-Verify compliance, with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option. Neither opportunity applied explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The code shows limited recent activity overall; business development professionals should monitor whether additional health departments or counties adopt this code for pharmaceutical commodity procurement or whether activity remains concentrated in emergency-preparedness and infectious-disease-management buys.
