UNSPSC 51284120 Ceftizoxime is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical products procured by state and local health agencies, though recent activity shows the code is applied inconsistently across jurisdictions. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring pharmaceuticals for public health stockpiling, emergency response, and community health initiatives. The issuing bodies include state departments of public health and county health authorities, with procurement conducted through competitive bidding processes and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MMCAP Infuse consortiums that allow piggyback awards to pre-selected vendors.

Recent activity appears sparse and geographically limited. Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under Bid Number 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392, with a total award of $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two optional renewal years. Separately, Seminole County, Florida released an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) posted June 30, 2026 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, with response due July 26, 2023, though the date appears misrecorded in the source. Both procurements were conducted as competitive bids with electronic submission requirements and delivery included in pricing. The code shows recent activity only in Illinois and Florida; geographic spread beyond these states is not supported by the source.
