UNSPSC 51283405: Benzylpenicillin or penicillin g

This classification denotes a penicillin antibiotic with the molecular formula C16H18N2O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier Q42T66VG0C, chemically known as penicillin, (phenylmethyl)- but generally known as benzylpenicillin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 2349. Benzylpenicillin comes in many forms, including base, benzathine, benzathine hydrate, beta-diethylaminoethyl ester, dibenzylethylenediamine salt, g, novocaine salt, potassium, procaine, procaine monohydrate, and sodium.

UNSPSC 51283405 Benzylpenicillin or penicillin g is a Commodity code that captures antibiotic pharmaceuticals state and local health agencies procure for emergency response, public health stockpiling, and community health operations. The recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly matching this code's nominal scope; the Illinois Department of Public Health's awarded contract (completed August 28, 2026) supplied Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride rather than penicillin, and Seminole County's Naloxone procurement focuses on opioid reversal agents and drug deactivation systems. State and local issuing bodies under this code span health departments, county public health divisions, and emergency management agencies. Activity appears episodic and driven by specific public health initiatives or strategic stockpiling needs rather than routine recurring procurement.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract over three years (August 28, 2026) through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle to Chartwell Rx LLC; Seminole County, Florida released an IFB (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeking annual supplies of naloxone and drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building. The code shows sparse recent relevant solicitation activity—the two posted opportunities diverge significantly from penicillin-class antibiotics, suggesting either low demand under this specific commodity code or that state and local agencies are tagging penicillin purchases under broader pharmaceutical family codes rather than this narrow Commodity tier.
