UNSPSC 51284142 Ceftazidime sodium is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect ceftazidime procurement. The source records two opportunities — one an awarded piggyback pharmaceutical contract through the Illinois Department of Public Health for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, and one a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and drug deactivation systems. Neither opportunity involves ceftazidime sodium. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all or placeholder for pharmaceutical and health-supply purchases that fall outside the code's nominal scope. The actual work being solicited spans a range of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies — antibiotic tablets, opioid antagonists, and drug disposal systems — rather than ceftazidime specifically.

The issuing bodies include state departments of health and county-level public health and community health functions. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC with a 12-month initial term and renewal options for years 2 and 3, announced August 28, 2026. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The code shows recent activity across Illinois and Florida, though the small sample and misalignment between the code name and actual procurement scope limit confidence in geographic concentration or typical purchasing patterns under this Commodity code.
