UNSPSC 51284111: Cefpiramide

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C25H24N8O7S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier P936YA152N, chemically known as wy 44,635 but generally known as cefpiramide, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 53130. European Medicines Agency schedules Cefpiramide in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07412MIG.

UNSPSC 51284111 Cefpiramide, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally identifies a specific third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, but the recent opportunities posted under this code—naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first aid supplies for emergency response, and generic pharmaceuticals with OTC products—involve no cefpiramide procurement and diverge materially from the code's scope. State and local buying activity under this code shows little relevant recent procurement aligned with the antibiotic's actual clinical use.

The mismatch between the code label and the work being solicited suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or a broader pharmaceutical-procurement category applied inconsistently across jurisdictions. The recent opportunities represent diverse issuing bodies (Seminole County, Florida; Texas Health and Human Services Commission; City of Tampa; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance) and geographies (Florida, Texas, and multi-state cooperative structures), but none of them address cefpiramide supply or distribution. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for direct procurement intent and flag the tagging inconsistency with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
