About UNSPSC 51284116

UNSPSC 51284116 Ceftiofur is a Commodity code for a specific veterinary antibiotic product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect veterinary pharmaceutical procurement. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida recent awards and solicitations under or near this code involve human pharmaceuticals (Doxycycline Hyclate, Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, Naloxone) and medical safety equipment (drug deactivation systems), not the ceftiofur product the code nominally describes. State and local health departments and county public health offices do not appear to be active buyers of ceftiofur itself through posted solicitation activity in the recent record.

The Illinois Department of Public Health completed an Invitation for Bid award on August 28, 2026 through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC for a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract totaling $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two optional renewal years. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Solicitation Number IFB60459723LAS) with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, with quarterly deliveries required. The code shows no distinct recent geographic concentration or active issuing-body pattern specific to ceftiofur procurement; the opportunities present suggest a mismatch between the commodity code assignment and the actual state and local purchasing activity documented.
