UNSPSC 51284018: Chlortetracycline bisulfate

This classification denotes a tetracycline antibiotic with the molecular formula C22H23ClN2O8.H2O4S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 1D06KZ672I, chemically known as 2-(amino-hydroxy-methylidene)-7-chloro-4-dimethylamino-6,10,11,12a-tetrahydroxy-6-methyl-4,4a,5,5a-tetrahydrotetracene-1,3,12-trione but more generally known as chlortetracycline bisulfate, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5280963. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule chlortetracycline bisulfate under HS 29413000 and SITC 54133.

As of Q4 2014, CHLORTETRACYCLINE BISULFATE remains US FDA's Preferred Term for this commodity. Chlortetracycline bisulfate bears US NLM identifiers UMLS ID C0282101 and NCI Concept Code C76989. SMILES: C[C@]1(C2C(CCC(C2C(=O)C3=C([C@]4([C@@H](C[C@@H]31)[C@@H](C(=C(C4=O)C(=O)N)O)N(C)C)O)O)O)CL)O.OS(=O)(=O)O.

UNSPSC 51284018 Chlortetracycline bisulfate is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical active ingredients and finished drug products procured by state and local health departments and public health agencies. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show purchasing of broad-spectrum antibiotics and emergency response medications rather than chlortetracycline bisulfate specifically — the Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an IFB process with a 12-month initial term and two renewal options, while Seminole County, Florida solicited 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually through competitive bidding. State purchasing under this code flows through health departments, county public health agencies, and specialized procurement consortia (notably MMCAP Infuse), with contracts typically structured as multi-year agreements with quarterly or annual deliveries and renewal options.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Illinois based on recent postings. The Illinois opportunity represents a larger-scale piggyback award for critical pharmaceutical inventory, while the Seminole County procurement reflects operational public health spending on emergency response supplies. The code shows limited recent activity overall, and the gap between the nominal scope (chlortetracycline bisulfate, an animal-use antibiotic feed additive) and the actual state and local purchases (human-use pharmaceuticals and emergency medical supplies) suggests either inconsistent code assignment in recent solicitations or a shift in how this commodity tier is being deployed in state and local procurement systems. Pursuit requires confirmation that target opportunities align with your product or service offering rather than relying on code classification alone.
