UNSPSC 51284121: Cefoperazone

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C25H27N9O8S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 7U75I1278D, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((((4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinyl)carbonyl)amino)(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetyl)amino)-3-(((1-methyl-1h-tetrazol-5-yl)thio)methyl)-8-oxo-, (6r-(6-alpha,7-beta(r*)))- but generally known as cefoperazone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 44185.

UNSPSC 51284121 Cefoperazone is a Commodity code for a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little activity directly aligned with cefoperazone procurement. Instead, the posted opportunities involve other pharmaceutical products — antibiotic tablets (doxycycline and ciprofloxacin), naloxone, and drug deactivation systems — suggesting either tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems or sparse cefoperazone demand relative to broader pharmaceutical warehouse and emergency-response supply chains. State and local issuing bodies soliciting pharmaceutical inventory through this code family include state health departments and county public-health agencies, typically sourcing through piggyback cooperative purchasing vehicles or competitive sealed bidding for warehouse supply and emergency-response stockpiling.

Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the two issuing bodies with recent posted activity. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse consortium in August 2026 for doxycycline and ciprofloxacin supply, with an initial 12-month term and renewal options for years 2 and 3. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford; that solicitation closed on July 26, 2023. Geographic activity is limited to the two states represented, and the code itself shows no recent open solicitations specifically for cefoperazone procurement.
