UNSPSC 51284149: Ceftizoxime sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C13H12N5O5S2.Na, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 26337D5X88, chemically known as 5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-(((2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-(methoxyimino)acetyl)amino)-8-oxo-, monosodium salt, (6r-(6-alpha,7-beta(z)))- but more generally known as ceftizoxime sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 9570777.

UNSPSC 51284149 Ceftizoxime sodium is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical; however, the recent state and local opportunities show limited activity directly under this code. The four posted solicitations reflect broader pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement across multiple issuing bodies and jurisdictions, though only one directly addresses pharmaceutical products as their primary scope. State and local governments use pharmaceutical commodity codes to procure medications, medical supplies, and related health products through both direct purchase and cooperative contracting vehicles. The issuing bodies include state health agencies, county health departments, city fire departments, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances, reflecting the distributed nature of pharmaceutical procurement across public health and emergency services. Most recent activity centers on broader pharmaceutical bundles, OTC products, and emergency medical supplies rather than ceftizoxime specifically.

The geographic spread includes Florida, Texas, Minnesota (serving multiple states including Oregon), and the broader multistate cooperative market. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County, Florida's IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2026) seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually for community health initiatives; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription program capabilities; the City of Tampa's Bid 26-P-00145 (posted March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000.00 with a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers with a July 1, 2026 effective date. The code shows fragmented activity across multiple pharmaceutical and medical supply solicitations rather than concentration on ceftizoxime sodium itself.
