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 is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not reflect purchases of the pharmaceutical ingredient itself, but rather signals a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The four recent opportunities tagged to this code span naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida), direct-to-manufacturer prescription program strategy (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), medical and first aid supplies for emergency response (City of Tampa), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products across a multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations reference cefoperazone sodium or cephalosporin antibiotics specifically. The issuing bodies include county health departments, state health agencies, municipal fire departments, and state cooperative purchasing offices — a mix spanning public health, emergency services, and centralized procurement infrastructure.

The geographic spread covers Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon (through MMCAP), with activity concentrated in state-level cooperative purchasing frameworks and county and municipal health and emergency-response procurement. Recent representative opportunities include Seminole County's IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (due July 26, 2023, for quarterly deliveries), the City of Tampa's sealed-bid solicitation for medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division (estimated at $700,000, with an SLBE set-aside and 5 percent discount), and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (due March 26, 2026, with a two-year term and July 1, 2026 effective date). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with cefoperazone sodium procurement specifically; vendors pursuing state and local pharmaceutical or medical-supply opportunities should verify code assignment before investing in bid preparation.
