UNSPSC 51283701: Cefaclor

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C15H14ClN3O4S.H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 69K7K19H4L, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-((aminophenylacetyl)amino)-3-chloro-8-oxo-, (6r-(6-alpha,7-beta(r*)))- but generally known as cefaclor, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 40958. Cefaclor most often comes in base, anhydrous, and hydrate forms.

UNSPSC 51283701 Cefaclor is a Commodity code within the pharmaceutical products taxonomy, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect cephalosporin antibiotic procurement. Instead, the code's recent activity captures pharmaceutical warehouse and emergency-response drug supply contracts, with issuing bodies treating the code as a catch-all for various pharmaceutical acquisitions including antibiotics, opioid antagonists, and related medical supplies. State and local governments are using this code to solicit the supply, storage, and delivery of multiple pharmaceutical products—ranging from antibiotic tablets to naloxone units—through both direct awards and competitive bidding processes, often via cooperative purchasing consortiums or standing agreements with multiple renewal terms.

Activity under the code comes from state health departments and county government purchasing offices. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse consortium in August 2026, supplying Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets over a three-year contract term. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB in June 2026 for annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems, with quarterly deliveries to the county's community health building; vendors must include shipping and delivery costs in their proposals. Recent activity centers in Florida and Illinois, with procurement emphasizing cooperative purchasing mechanisms, fixed pricing structures, and multi-year renewal optionality. State and local buyers under this code typically require compliance with drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify confirmation, and standard insurance coverage (workers' compensation, commercial general liability).
