UNSPSC 51284304: Racefenicol or racephenicol

This classification denotes an antibiotic with the molecular formula C12H15Cl2NO5S, a preparation that US FDA recognizes as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier 283383NO13, chemically known as (+-)-threo-2,2-dichloro-n-(beta-hydroxy-alpha-(hydroxymethyl)-p-(methylsulfonyl)phenethyl)acetamide but more generally known as racefenicol, which bears U.S. National Institutes of Health Compound Identifier 5433. The European Medicines Agency schedules Racefenicol in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB10231MIG.

UNSPSC 51284304 Racefenicol or racephenicol is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of pharmaceutical products and medical supplies, though recent activity under this specific code shows limited direct alignment with the nominal taxonomy entry. The two most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve pharmaceutical warehouse supply contracts and medical emergency response supplies rather than the specific active pharmaceutical ingredient named in the code. State and local issuing bodies—including departments of public health, county health authorities, and special-purpose health districts—solicit under codes in this family to acquire medications, pharmaceuticals, and related medical supplies through cooperative purchasing vehicles, piggyback contracts, and competitive sealed bidding. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the issuing-body types active in recent procurement under this code.

The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 pharmaceutical warehouse piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride tablets on a 12-month initial term with two renewal options, following an Invitation for Bid process. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB in June 2026 (response due July 26, 2023) to procure 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, under a two-year initial contract with one-year renewal option. Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, though the code's limited recent volume and the mismatch between the nominal code definition and actual solicitations suggest this Commodity code sees infrequent state and local procurement activity.
