UNSPSC 51283803: Quinupristin

This classification denotes an antibiotic with the molecular formula C53H67N9O10S, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 23OW28RS7P, chemically known as virginiamycin s1, 4-(4-(dimethylamino)-n-methyl-l-phenylalanine)-5-(5-((1-azabicyclo(2.2.2)oct-3-ylthio)methyl)-4-oxo-l-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid)-, (s)- but more generally known as quinupristin, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 71338.

UNSPSC 51283803 Quinupristin is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge sharply from the code's nominal scope — quinupristin is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic, yet the recent solicitations concern naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its antibiotic product name. When the mismatch is this pronounced, the code is likely receiving miscategorized submissions or functioning as a catch-all for pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement that falls outside more specific code definitions.

The recent opportunities themselves span state health and human services agencies, county health departments, municipal fire departments, and multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries and a two-year term plus one-year renewal option. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 in April 2026 to gather vendor capabilities on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs for self-insured plans outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager arrangements. The City of Tampa released IFB 26P00145 in March 2026 for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a certified Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through three authorized wholesalers, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and contract effectiveness July 1, 2026. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and multi-state cooperative jurisdictions including Oregon; the mix suggests fragmented but recurring demand across county health, municipal emergency response, and state healthcare administration.
