UNSPSC 51283404: Carfecillin

This classification denotes a urinary anti-infective agent and penicillin with the molecular formula C23H22N2O6S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 9UU4XDB74X, chemically known as 6-((1,3-dioxo-3-phenoxy-2-phenylpropyl)amino)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid (2s-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta))- but generally known as carfecillin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 33672. Carfecillin most often comes in base, phenyl, phenyl sodium, and sodium forms.

UNSPSC 51283404 Carfecillin, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the opportunities dataset. The code nominally covers a specific antibiotic product, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code include naloxone kits, safe drug deactivation systems, medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs—none of which include carfecillin procurement. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all for pharmaceutical and pharmacy benefit procurement rather than for carfecillin specifically.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Minnesota Department of Administration), county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), city fire and rescue services (City of Tampa), and cooperative purchasing alliances (MMCAP across Minnesota and Oregon). Recent activity includes a Seminole County IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems with a response date of July 26, 2023; a Texas HHS Commission RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs posted April 3, 2026; a Tampa Fire Department IFB for medical and first aid supplies with a response date of March 13, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $700,000; and an MMCAP RFP for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products with a response date of March 26, 2026. The Tampa procurement is designated for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. Geographic spread includes Florida, Texas, and the Minnesota–Oregon region. The code shows pharmaceutical and emergency medical supply activity but no confirmed carfecillin-specific demand.
