UNSPSC 51283100: Lipopeptides

This classification denotes antibiotics based on lipids and compounds consisting of a short peptide chain conjugated with an acyl chain, hence the names LIPO-PEPTIDE, LIPO-PEPTIDES, and LIPOPEPTIDES.

UNSPSC 51283100 Lipopeptides is a Class code that in practice covers pharmaceutical products procured by state and local health agencies, though recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show limited alignment with the nominal lipopeptide scope. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an Invitation for Bid process, with an initial 12-month term and two optional renewal years. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 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, Florida, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023. State and local buyers using this code include county health departments and state health agencies procuring through both direct awards and consortium vehicles, though the recent opportunities show antibiotic tablets and opioid-reversal agents rather than lipopeptide-class pharmaceuticals.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Illinois, with buyers emphasizing compliance requirements including E-Verify, drug-free workplace certification, and in at least one case potential FEMA funding compliance. The Illinois award required no Business Enterprise Program or Veterans Business Program set-asides and applied no domestic product preferences. Contracts carry standard insurance and liability requirements and, in the Florida procurement, include a three-month probationary termination clause. Pricing in both opportunities is fixed-fee with unit costs or total award amounts specified; the Illinois contract shows a $2,999,999.11 lifetime value while the Florida opportunity did not disclose a budget range.
