UNSPSC 51283000: Lincosamides

This classification denotes antibiotics belonging to a family of lincomycin-related glycosides that contain a pyrrolidine ring linked via an amide-bond to a pyranose moiety, hence the names LINCOS-AMIDE, LINCOSAMIDE, and LINCOSAMIDES. Individual members of this family are defined by the arrangement of specific constituent groups on the lyncomycin molecule.

UNSPSC 51283000 Lincosamides is a Class code that covers antibiotic pharmaceutical products in the lincosamide family; in practice, state and local governments use this code to procure specific pharmaceutical inventory for public health and emergency response programs. Recent opportunities show state and local health departments and county public health systems buying finished pharmaceutical products—tablets, injections, and related formulations—through piggyback agreements with established pharmaceutical suppliers and competitive bidding processes. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are state health departments and county health authorities; the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida both appear in recent activity.

Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, valued at $2,999,999.11 over three years, for the supply of Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets through the MMCAP Infuse consortium (Invitation for Bid process, closed award). Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (solicitation number IFB60459723LAS) posted June 30, 2026, with response due July 26, 2026, for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford; the contract includes a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option and requires E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and FEMA compliance when funding flows through federal sources. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois; the code sees limited but steady use among state health departments and county health authorities for competitive procurement of pharmaceutical inventory supporting public health operations and emergency response.
