UNSPSC 51284150: Ceftriaxone sodium

This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula 2C18H16N8O7S3.4Na.7H2O, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 023Z5BR09K, 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-3-(((1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-5,6-dioxo-1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)thio)methyl)-, disodium salt, (6r-(6alpha,7beta(z)))- but more generally known as ceftriaxone sodium, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 9570832.

UNSPSC 51284150 Ceftriaxone sodium is a Commodity code for a specific injectable antibiotic pharmaceutical product. State and local governments procure ceftriaxone sodium primarily through piggyback and consortial purchasing vehicles that leverage existing statewide or regional pharmaceutical supply contracts, enabling jurisdictions to access inventory without conducting individual competitive solicitations. The code covers wholesale pharmaceutical supply and warehousing arrangements typically managed by public health departments, community health systems, and emergency preparedness programs that stockpile essential medications for public health response, emergency preparedness, and routine clinical distribution.

The recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with ceftriaxone sodium itself. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 for $2,999,999.11 over three years, but the contract supplies Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride—antibiotics unrelated to ceftriaxone. A second record from Seminole County, Florida (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) solicits Naloxone and drug deactivation systems, also outside the code's scope. No recent state or local solicitations in the source specifically name ceftriaxone sodium as a line item or primary procurement target, indicating limited visible contracting activity under this Commodity code in the current market.
