UNSPSC 51284146: Ceftiofur hydrochloride

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C19H17N5O7S3.ClH, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 6822A07436, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((2z)-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)(methoxyimino)acetyl)amino)-3-(((2-furanylcarbonyl)thio)methyl)-8-oxo, monohydrochloride, (6r,7r) but more generally known as ceftiofur hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 6328657.

UNSPSC 51284146 Ceftiofur hydrochloride is a Commodity code for a specific veterinary antibiotic pharmaceutical product, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows minimal direct purchasing under this code. The code nominally covers ceftiofur hydrochloride, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used in veterinary medicine, but the recent opportunities flagged in state and local procurement databases do not reflect active demand for this specific product. Instead, those records show awards and solicitations for other pharmaceutical products—doxycycline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, and naloxone—that fall outside the scope of this code. State and local health departments and county public health agencies do procure veterinary and human pharmaceuticals through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct competitive processes, but the available records provide no evidence of current solicitations specifically for ceftiofur hydrochloride or close substitutes.

Geographic spread and recent activity data are not supported by the source records. The Illinois Department of Public Health award in August 2026 and the Seminole County, Florida solicitation represent pharmaceutical procurement activity overall, but neither involved ceftiofur hydrochloride, making them unreliable proxies for activity under this code. No open solicitations for ceftiofur hydrochloride appear in the recent state and local opportunities block, and the code shows no active bidding or award patterns that would guide pursuit decisions at this time.
