UNSPSC 51284110: Cefpimizole

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C28H26N6O10S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 24S58UHU7N, chemically known as 1-(((6r,7r)-2-carboxy-7-((r)-2-(5-carboxyimidazole-4-carboxamido)-2-phenylacetamido)-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-en-3-yl)methyl)-4-(2-sulfoethyl)pyridinium hydroxide, inner salt but generally known as cefpimizole, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 68597.

UNSPSC 51284110 Cefpimizole is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The code nominally identifies a specific antibiotic (cefpimizole), but the two recent opportunities on file show purchases of entirely unrelated pharmaceutical products and devices — doxycycline and ciprofloxacin tablets under an Illinois Department of Public Health piggyback contract, and naloxone plus drug deactivation systems under a Seminole County, Florida competitive bid. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all for pharmaceutical procurement rather than for cefpimizole-specific sourcing, which suggests either a data-entry mismatch or classification drift. The issuing bodies include state health departments and county government, but the products being bought bear no consistent relationship to the code's stated scope.

Recent activity is sparse and geographically dispersed. Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for doxycycline and ciprofloxacin tablets with an initial 12-month term and two renewal options under Invitation for Bid 26482DPHPREPDB53392. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 (due July 26, 2026) seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the county community health building. The code shows little substantive recent activity for cefpimizole itself and does not represent a coherent procurement category for state and local business development purposes.
