UNSPSC 51284100: Third generation cephalosporins

This classification denotes the third variety of medium-spectrum antibiotics originally isolated from the fungus cephalosporium acremonium, and which contain thia-azabicyclo-octenecarboxylic acid or 7-aminocephalosporanic acid, hence the term CEPHALOSPORIN.

UNSPSC 51284100 Third generation cephalosporins is a Class code that captures pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health agencies, though the recent activity shown here spans a broader pharmaceutical supply pattern. State and local health departments and county health authorities buy antibiotics and related medications under this code as part of their public health and emergency preparedness missions. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida both appear as recent buyers, indicating that state health departments and county public health operations represent the primary issuing bodies pursuing this commodity family.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Illinois and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Public Health's award to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing consortium (Invitation for Bid, closed August 28, 2026 with award dated September 11, 2026) for $2,999,999.11 over the contract term, supplying doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, and Seminole County, Florida's procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually (IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023). The Illinois purchase represents a completed award under a cooperative vehicle, while the Seminole County solicitation reflects procurement tied to community health initiatives with FEMA potential funding and quarterly delivery requirements to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford.
