UNSPSC 51284006 Doxycycline, a Commodity code, covers pharmaceutical supply procurement by state and local health agencies, specifically the acquisition of doxycycline and related antimicrobial medications in bulk for distribution through public health systems and emergency response programs. State and local governments procure doxycycline tablets as part of pharmaceutical stockpiling, epidemic preparedness, and community health initiatives, often through cooperative purchasing agreements that leverage state-level contracts to achieve volume pricing and standardized supply chains. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments and county-level public health authorities; recent activity centers on Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida, which source these products via piggyback contracts through consortia such as MMCAP Infuse or direct competitive bidding processes.

The most recent award under this code is the Illinois Department of Public Health's piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract with Chartwell Rx LLC (Bid 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392), awarded August 28, 2026, for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets in 20-count packages and related antimicrobials, totaling $2,999,999.11 over a 12-month initial term with two optional renewal years. The contract was awarded through an Invitation for Bid process to the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder with no set-aside or domestic-preference requirements. A secondary opportunity from Seminole County, Florida (IFB 60459723LAS) posted June 30, 2026, though its stated focus is naloxone and drug deactivation systems rather than doxycycline, suggests that county-level procurement under antimicrobial and pharmaceutical codes often bundles multiple product lines. Illinois and Florida represent the primary jurisdictions with recent doxycycline solicitation activity, with opportunities typically requiring quarterly or periodic deliveries, electronic bid submission, and E-Verify compliance.
