UNSPSC 51284138: Cefpiramide sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C25H23N8O7S2.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 137KB7GYKB, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((((4-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-pyridinyl)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 cefpiramide sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 53129.

UNSPSC 51284138 Cefpiramide sodium is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address naloxone and drug deactivation systems (Seminole County, Florida), direct-to-manufacturer pharmaceutical prescriptions (Texas HHS Commission), medical and first aid supplies for emergency response (City of Tampa), and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). None of these solicitations involves cefpiramide sodium or the antibiotic pharmaceutical class it represents; the code assignment appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than actual procurement demand for this specific drug product.

State and local governments do procure pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and emergency-response consumables through RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs, but the recent opportunities under this code cover broader categories—naloxone kits for opioid overdose response, first-aid supplies for fire-rescue operations, and cooperative purchasing arrangements for generic pharmaceuticals distributed through established wholesaler networks. The Florida IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS) sought 1,900 units of naloxone annually with quarterly deliveries; the Tampa IFB (26P00145) included 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a one-year award period plus renewal options; and the Minnesota MMCAP RFP (S1070000015802) invited manufacturers of generic multi-source pharmaceuticals to supply through authorized wholesalers, with proposals due March 26, 2026. If cefpiramide sodium is a commodity state and local agencies actually purchase, activity under this code does not yet appear in recent solicitation records, warranting verification of the code assignment before pursuing opportunities in this category.
