UNSPSC 51284024: Doxycycline anhydrous

This classification denotes a tetracycline antibiotic with the molecular formula C22H24N2O8, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 334895S862, chemically known as 2-naphthacenecarboxamide, 4-(dimethylamino)-1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a-octahydro-3,5,10,12,12a-pentahydroxy-6-methyl-1,11-dioxo-, (4s-(4.alpha.,4a.alpha.,5.alpha.,5a.alpha.,6.alpha.,12a.alpha.))-, but more generally known as doxycycline anhydrous, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 5281011.

UNSPSC 51284024 Doxycycline anhydrous is a Commodity code representing pharmaceutical products, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse contract in August 2026 through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an Invitation for Bid process, with a total contract value of $2,999,999.11 over the life of the agreement including renewal options. State and local health departments and special-purpose districts access pharmaceutical supplies—including antibiotics and related medications—through piggyback purchasing vehicles tied to statewide consortiums, leveraging competitive awards to streamline procurement and achieve volume pricing. The Illinois Department of Public Health represents the primary recent buyer under this code, though the small sample of available opportunities limits characterization of broader issuing-body patterns across state and local jurisdictions.

Recent activity is concentrated in Illinois and Florida, though the Seminole County, Florida opportunity (posted June 2026) involves Naloxone and drug deactivation systems rather than doxycycline, indicating tagging inconsistency that may obscure the true volume of procurement under this code. The Illinois contract, awarded August 28, 2026, required electronic submission and selected the lowest-priced responsive bidder; no set-aside or preference programs were identified. Limited recent opportunity volume suggests this code sees sporadic rather than continuous procurement activity at the state and local level, making it difficult to establish predictable buying cycles or geographic concentration patterns.
