UNSPSC 51284103: Cefdinir

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier CI0FAO63WC. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefdinir in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07386MIG. Cefdinir generally arises in the molecular formula C14H13N5O5S2.

UNSPSC 51284103 Cefdinir, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the product itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader procurement landscape spanning naloxone distribution, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy initiatives, fire-rescue medical supplies, and cooperative purchasing frameworks for generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products. State and local governments are using this code—or codes near it—to solicit pharmaceutical and medical supply acquisition across health departments, fire services, and cooperative purchasing alliances, with issuing bodies ranging from county health departments to state health and human services commissions to municipal fire departments. The scope of work spans acute emergency response products (naloxone, deactivation systems, first-aid consumables), ongoing pharmacy benefit administration, and volume-based generic pharmaceutical sourcing through established wholesaler networks.

Activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with no single jurisdiction dominating the recent flow. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, response due July 26, 2023) to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for the county health department, with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option. The City of Tampa issued ITB 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026, response due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first-aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, valued at $700,000 and designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued RFP S1070000015802 (response due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products to be distributed across state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, requiring distribution through three authorized wholesalers. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 (response due April 3, 2026) to gather vendor capabilities for a Therapeutic Pharmacy Initiative direct-to-manufacturer prescriptions program, designed to inform future formal procurement strategy.
