UNSPSC 51284000: Tetracyclines

This classification denotes closely congeneric derivatives of the polycyclic naphthacenecarboxamide, and naphthacene antibiotics that inhibits amino acyl trna binding during protein synthesis, a four-ringed cyclic compound, TETRA-CYCLINE, TETRAC-YCLINES, and TETRACYCLINE antibiotics.

UNSPSC 51284000 Tetracyclines is a Class code for tetracycline-class antibiotics and related pharmaceutical products; state and local governments purchase these drugs primarily through cooperative pharmaceutical purchasing consortia and emergency preparedness programs. The recent activity shows procurement of specific tetracycline products — Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets — alongside broader antibiotic and emergency medical supply acquisitions that fall within or near the code's scope. Issuing bodies include state health departments and county governments; the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida appear in the recent record. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MMCAP Infuse and competitive sealed bidding (Invitation for Bid and IFB processes) are the dominant procurement mechanisms, with contracts typically structured for 12-month initial terms and renewal options spanning two to three years.

Activity centers on Illinois and Florida based on recent awards. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg in 20-count packages with 120-month expiration, plus Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets, under IFB process 26482DPHPREPDB53392. Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems (1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually) with quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford; that bid closed July 26, 2023, though the posting date suggests updated tracking or administrative reposting. Neither procurement required set-asides or Business Enterprise Program utilization. Both procurements bundled specific drug products with logistics, storage, and delivery as packaged offerings.
