UNSPSC 51284102 Cefdaloxime is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement activity covers pharmaceutical products and medical supplies far broader than the code's nominal scope—including naloxone, drug deactivation systems, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, and medical emergency-response consumables. State and local buyers soliciting under or near this code include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), municipal fire and rescue divisions (Tampa Fire Department), and cooperative purchasing alliances serving multiple state and local jurisdictions (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). The work ranges from direct procurement of specific emergency-response medications and supplies to market-intelligence gathering on direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs and establishment of statewide or regional contract vehicles for pharmaceutical and OTC distribution through authorized wholesalers.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota (serving multi-state members including Oregon), and appears concentrated in health department, emergency services, and state pharmacy benefit procurement. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued an RFP (S1070000015802) due March 26, 2026, to establish multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson, with pricing weighted 75 percent on competitiveness and an estimated two-year contract term. The City of Tampa issued an ITB (26P00145) due March 13, 2026, for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and set-aside designation for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) due July 26, 2023, to procure naloxone and drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term. The Texas HHS Commission posted an RFI (HHS0017013) in March 2026 to gather vendor capabilities regarding direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, indicating early-stage strategic procurement planning rather than immediate contract awards.
