This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic C23H29N5O8S2.ClH, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 5J77167P9E, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 3-(((aminocarbonyl)oxy)methyl)-7-((2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-1-oxo-2- pentenyl)amino)-8-oxo-, (2,2-dimethyl-1-oxopropoxy)methyl ester,(6r- (6-.alpha.,7-.beta.(z)))-, monohydrochloride, but more generally known as cefcapene pivoxil hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6918126.

UNSPSC 51284124 Cefcapene pivoxil hydrochloride is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific oral antibiotic drug, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct relevance to the commodity itself. The code exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity, with posted opportunities instead covering naloxone procurement, therapeutic pharmacy initiatives, general medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all for pharmaceutical and medical supply solicitations more broadly. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county health agencies (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS Commission), municipal fire and rescue departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, or MMCAP, serving state and local facilities across multiple jurisdictions including Minnesota and Oregon).

Geographic activity centers on Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County's IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a July 26, 2023 response deadline (note: this posting date of June 30, 2026 conflicts with an earlier deadline, indicating possible data inconsistency); the City of Tampa's sealed-bid solicitation (26P00145) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000, with a March 13, 2026 deadline and a 5 percent bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises; and MMCAP's RFP (S1070000015802) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities, due March 26, 2026, with pricing weighted at 75 percent of evaluation and products required to be available by May 15, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with cefcapene pivoxil hydrochloride procurement and warrants clarification of coding practices before committing business development resources.
