UNSPSC 51283711: Loracarbef

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C16H16ClN3O4.H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 3X11EVM5SU, chemically known as 1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-((aminophenylacetyl)amino)-3-chloro-8-oxo-, (6r-(6alpha,7beta(r*)))- but generally known as loracarbef, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3956. European Medicines Agency schedules Loracarbef in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08578MIG.

UNSPSC 51283711 Loracarbef is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida), direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs (Texas HHS), medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue (City of Tampa), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing (Minnesota MMCAP)—represent naloxone procurement, pharmacy benefit program innovation, emergency medical supplies, and generic drug sourcing, none of which match loracarbef, a specific beta-lactam antibiotic formulation. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the pharmaceutical compound it nominally describes.

The geographic spread across Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon reflects the diversity of the actual opportunities posted, but these solicitations serve distinct public health missions—overdose response, state employee pharmacy benefits, emergency fire rescue, and multi-state generic drug distribution—rather than loracarbef procurement itself. No active state or local government solicitation in the recent-opportunities block seeks loracarbef or another loracarbef-specific pharmaceutical. Business development professionals should verify whether this code remains an accurate descriptor for actual procurement or whether opportunities are being misfiled by issuing jurisdictions.
