UNSPSC 51284005: Demecycline

This classification denotes a tetracycline antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier TV240CH11P. European Medicines Agency schedules Demecycline in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB06965MIG. Demecycline generally arises in the molecular formula C21H22N2O8.

UNSPSC 51284005 Demecycline is a Commodity code tracking a specific tetracycline antibiotic, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal product scope. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement across health departments, emergency services, and cooperative purchasing alliances—naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, emergency medical supplies for fire departments, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals through state cooperative agreements. State and local issuing bodies using this code span county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing organizations (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, or MMCAP). The mismatch between the code's nominal product (demecycline) and the actual procurements suggests either inconsistent coding by issuing bodies or that demecycline procurement is tagged within broader pharmaceutical categories rather than solicited as a standalone item.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with the most substantial current opportunity being MMCAP's generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products RFP (S1070000015802), due March 26, 2026, which seeks manufacturers to supply through three authorized wholesalers with proposals weighted 75 percent on price competitiveness. The City of Tampa's IFB for medical and first aid supplies (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) pursues emergency medical consumables for the Tampa Fire Department with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries through an electronic e-Procurement Portal. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026, as a market-intelligence phase exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional PBM and GPO channels. Demecycline specifically does not appear as a named line item in any of these solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing bid preparation resources.
