UNSPSC 51284148 Ceftizoxime alapivoxil, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical products in state and local procurement, though recent activity under this code shows little alignment with the specific active pharmaceutical ingredient named. State and local governments use this code tier to procure individual drug formulations for public health stockpiling, emergency response, and community health programs. The issuing bodies are typically state health departments and county health agencies acquiring pharmaceuticals through piggyback contracts, cooperative purchasing consortiums, and competitive bidding to support preventive care, outbreak response, and emergency preparedness initiatives.

Recent opportunities posted under related pharmaceutical commodity codes show activity centered in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride ($2,999,999.11 over three years with renewal options), and 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 required to the Seminole County Community Health Building. Both solicitations required vendors to submit unit pricing, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and maintain specified insurance coverage. The Illinois award reflected an Invitation for Bid process with the lowest priced responsive bidder selected; Seminole County's procurement noted potential FEMA funding and federal compliance obligations including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
