UNSPSC 51284135: Cefoperazone sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C25H26N9O8S2.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 5FQG9774WD, 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-, monosodium salt, (6r-(6alpha,7beta(r*)))- but more generally known as cefoperazone sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 44186.

UNSPSC 51284135 Cefoperazone sodium, a Commodity code, does not reflect state and local pharmaceutical procurement activity as currently posted. The two recent opportunities in the record are tagged to this code but actually procure unrelated products: one solicits Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets through a consortium piggyback contract, and the other procures Naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health delivery. Neither involves cefoperazone sodium or relates to the antibiotic's clinical scope. State and local governments do use cooperative purchasing and piggyback contracting vehicles to source pharmaceuticals — the Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 three-year contract through MMCAP Infuse via an Invitation for Bid process, and Seminole County, Florida released an IFB for naloxone and deactivation systems with quarterly delivery requirements — but the tagging mismatch means this code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals evaluating antibiotic supply opportunities.

The geographic spread of posted activity is limited to Illinois and Florida based on the two records. Response deadlines in the record are historical (September 11, 2026, for the Illinois contract and July 26, 2023, for Seminole County). No recent open solicitations for cefoperazone sodium itself appear in the source. Procurement professionals should verify whether state and local pharmaceutical purchasing actually uses this commodity code or whether the tagging reflects a data-quality issue in the underlying procurement system.
