UNSPSC 51284022: Demeclocycline calcium

This classification denotes a tetracycline antibiotic 2C21H20ClN2O8.Ca, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier SD6S4YY5HP, chemically known as 2-naphthacenecarboxamide, 7-chloro-4-(dimethylamino)-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,6,10,12,12a-pentahydroxy-1,11-dioxo-, calcium salt (2:1), (4s-(4.alpha.,4a.alpha.,5a.alpha.,6.beta.,12a.alpha.))-, but more generally known as demeclocycline calcium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 72941516.

UNSPSC 51284022 Demeclocycline calcium is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations has been applied inconsistently to pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement, though the code's nominal scope (a specific tetracycline antibiotic) does not closely match the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include demand for naloxone kits, safe drug deactivation systems, emergency medical and first-aid supplies for fire departments, and generic multi-source pharmaceutical products through cooperative purchasing vehicles. State and local issuing bodies pursuing these procurements include county health departments, state health and human services agencies, city fire and rescue divisions, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances. The work spans product sourcing, vendor qualification, supply chain management through authorized wholesalers, compliance with FDA and manufacturing standards, and delivery logistics.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Florida (Seminole County), Texas (Texas HHS Commission), and Minnesota (MMCAP cooperative), with Oregon participating in the multistate pharmaceutical contract. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually; the City of Tampa's IFB 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first-aid supplies to support the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a 5 percent bid discount reserved for certified Small Local Business Enterprises; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through three authorized wholesalers, effective July 1, 2026. The code shows significant tagging mismatch with its nominal pharmaceutical scope, suggesting the category is not the primary driver for these procurement opportunities.
