UNSPSC 51284113: Cefsulodin

This classification denotes an anti-bacterial agent with the molecular formula C22H20N4O8S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier OV42LHE42B, chemically known as 4-carbamoyl-1-(((6r,7r)-2-carboxy-8-oxo-7-((2r)-2-phenyl-2-sulfoacetamido)-5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-en-3-yl)methyl)pyridinium hydroxide, inner salt, monosodium salt but generally known as cefsulodin, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 40246.

UNSPSC 51284113 Cefsulodin is a Commodity code identifying a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant purchasing. The two opportunities posted show little connection to cefsulodin procurement specifically: one is a completed piggyback pharmaceutical award to Chartwell Rx LLC through the Illinois Department of Public Health for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (unrelated antibiotics), and the other is a Seminole County, Florida competitive bid for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (opioid-reversal agents, not cephalosporin antibiotics). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual purchases suggests these records may have been miscoded or represent incidental tagging rather than targeted procurement under this specific drug classification.

Without evidence of active, recent solicitations specifically seeking cefsulodin supply or distribution, the code does not present a clear procurement pipeline at this time. State and local health departments, county public health agencies, and hospital systems are the typical buyers for specialty pharmaceuticals in this tier, but the recent-opportunities block contains no open or pending requests for cefsulodin that would support business development activity. A business development professional should monitor future postings from state health departments and regional health procurement consortia, but no actionable opportunity is currently evident under this code.
