UNSPSC 51283406 Penicillin V or phenoxymethylpenicillin is a Commodity code that encompasses pharmaceutical products used across state and local public health, emergency response, and healthcare operations. Recent state and local solicitations under or adjacent to this code show procurement of generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, and emergency medications—including naloxone, medical and first aid supplies, and multi-source generic drugs distributed through established wholesaler networks. Issuing bodies span state health agencies, cooperative purchasing alliances, county public health departments, and municipal fire and rescue services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Minnesota Department of Administration drive significant activity, with the latter's Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) serving participating state and local jurisdictions across multiple states including Oregon. Smaller jurisdictions such as Seminole County, Florida and the City of Tampa also solicit pharmaceutical and emergency-response supplies regularly, indicating consistent demand across the issuing-body hierarchy.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Minnesota, and Florida. The Minnesota MMCAP RFP (S1070000015802, posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) exemplifies the scale and scope: a multi-state cooperative soliciting multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, Morris & Dickson), with evaluation weighted 75 percent on price competitiveness and awards effective July 1, 2026. The City of Tampa's IFB for medical and first aid supplies (26P00145, posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) sought 169 line items for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract amount of $700,000 and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. Seminole County, Florida's IFB (IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026) procures 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries. The Texas HHS RFI (HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026) sought vendor information on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs for self-insured health plans, signaling emerging interest in alternative pharmaceutical distribution models. Wholesaler relationships, cGMP and DSCSA compliance, and expiration-date requirements (minimum six to nine months from delivery) are consistent procurement themes.
