UNSPSC 51284011: Metacycline or methacycline

This classification denotes a macrolide antibiotic with the molecular formula C22H22N2O8, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier IR235I7C5P, chemically known as 4-(dimethylamino)-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,5,10,12,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methylene-1,11-dioxo-2-naphthacenecarboxamide but generally known as metacycline, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5281054. European Medicines Agency schedules Metacycline in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB08801MIG.

UNSPSC 51284011 Metacycline or methacycline is a Commodity code that covers antibiotic pharmaceutical products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited direct alignment. The source records identify pharmaceutical procurements posted by state health departments and county public health agencies, but the opportunities documented involve doxycycline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, naloxone, and drug deactivation systems—none of which fall within the metacycline or methacycline family. State and local issuing bodies acquiring pharmaceuticals through this taxonomy tier include state departments of public health managing regional warehouse contracts and county public health offices sourcing medications for community health programs, typically leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MMCAP Infuse consortium piggyback contracts or direct competitive bidding processes.

Recent activity centers on Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 three-year pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, under ITB 26482DPHPREPDB53392 for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride with a September 11, 2026 response date. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026 with a July 26, 2023 due date for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The code shows no recent opportunities actually soliciting metacycline or methacycline products; the mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source records or minimal current state and local procurement activity for compounds in the metacycline family itself.
