UNSPSC 51284141: Ceftazidime pentahydrate

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 9M416Z9QNR. European Medicines Agency schedules Ceftazidime pentahydrate in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB01134MIG. Ceftazidime generally arises in the molecular formula C22H22N6O7S2. The term 'ceftazidime' is a European Pharmacopoeia designation. CEFTAZIDIME is scheduled in the U.S. International Trade Commission's Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) Pharmaceutical Appendix.

Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule ceftazidime pentahydrate under HS 29419000 and SITC 54139. SMILES: [H+].CC(C)(C(=O)[O-])O/N=C(/C1CSC(N1)N)\C(=O)N[C@H]2[C@@H]3N(C2=O)C(=C(CS3)C[N+]4CCCCC4)C(=O)[O-].O.O.O.O.O.

UNSPSC 51284141 Ceftazidime pentahydrate is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally refers to a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it procure naloxone, medical and first aid supplies, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription program services—none of which align with ceftazidime procurement. The mismatch between the code's scope and actual purchasing activity suggests either tagging error or that ceftazidime itself sees minimal state and local procurement volume. State and local healthcare agencies, county health departments, city fire departments, and cooperative purchasing alliances (particularly multi-state consortia) appear in these opportunities, but the tangible work being bought does not match the antibiotic commodity named in the code.

The most recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS for naloxone and drug deactivation systems (1,900 units and 800 systems annually, due July 26, 2023). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. The City of Tampa issued IFB 26P00145 for medical and first aid supplies to the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division (169 line items, due March 13, 2026, estimated contract value $700,000), designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued RFP S1070000015802 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating jurisdictions (proposals due March 26, 2026). Given the code-to-opportunity mismatch, this code warrants verification before pursuing state or local activity.
