UNSPSC 51284144: Cefteram pivoxil

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic C22H27N9O7S2, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 0OD86RT58C, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((2z)-2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-(methoxyimino)acetyl)amino)-3-((5-methyl-2h-tetrazol-2-yl)methyl)-8-oxo-, (2,2-dimethyl-1-oxopropoxy)methyl ester, (6r,7r)-, but more generally known as cefteram pivoxil, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 54885.

UNSPSC 51284144 Cefteram pivoxil is a Commodity code that covers a specific oral cephalosporin antibiotic pharmaceutical product. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects institutional and public-health purchasing of prescription medications through competitive bidding and cooperative purchasing consortia. The issuing bodies include state health departments and county health authorities, who typically procure pharmaceuticals via piggyback contracts through multistate purchasing consortia such as MMCAP Infuse, leveraging master agreements to reduce procurement cycle time and obtain favorable pricing on standardized drug products.

Recent state and local opportunities show limited direct activity under this specific code. The most recent identifiable opportunity involves the Illinois Department of Public Health's award to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse consortium in August 2026 for pharmaceutical warehouse supply; however, that award covered Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, not Cefteram pivoxil. A second opportunity from Seminole County, Florida in June 2026 (IFB60459723LAS) solicited Naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health, also outside the scope of this antibiotic code. The geographic footprint visible in recent opportunities spans Illinois and Florida, though the code shows little active procurement volume under its specific commodity classification. State and local bodies pursuing pharmaceutical contracts typically use cooperative purchasing vehicles and competitive IFBs to award annual or multi-year supply agreements, with deliveries staged quarterly to health department or county health facilities.
