UNSPSC 51284140 Cefsulodin sodium is a Commodity code that state and local governments nominally procure as a pharmaceutical ingredient; however, recent activity under this code shows minimal direct purchasing aligned with the code's specific scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code address broader pharmaceutical and medical supply categories—naloxone and drug deactivation systems, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs—rather than cefsulodin sodium specifically. The issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS Commission), municipal purchasing offices (City of Tampa), and cooperative purchasing organizations (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance). When activity does align with pharmaceutical procurement, state and local buyers acquire supplies through authorized wholesaler networks, require compliance with FDA and cGMP standards, and structure contracts with competitive pricing models, administrative fees, and performance penalties.

Recent opportunities tagged under this code span Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon within cooperative purchasing frameworks. The most recent activity includes Seminole County's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries; the Texas HHS Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs for state pharmacy benefit initiatives; the City of Tampa's IFB 26P00145 (posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000 with a certified Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside and 5 percent bid discount; and MMCAP's RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) establishing multi-vendor contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers. The code itself shows limited direct procurement activity specific to cefsulodin sodium; the tagged opportunities reflect broader state and local pharmaceutical and medical supply purchasing rather than demand for this specific commodity.
