UNSPSC 51284500 Lincomycins and monobactam antibacterials and polymyxin antibacterials and polysaccharide antibacterials is a Class code covering the procurement of specialized antibiotic medications by state and local health agencies. Recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments buying specific pharmaceutical products—including doxycycline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, and naloxone—through both direct warehouse supply contracts and competitive bids. Issuing bodies include state health departments and county public health systems, which typically procure these medications to support clinical operations, emergency preparedness, and community health programs. The procurement vehicles vary: state agencies leverage cooperative purchasing consortiums such as MMCAP Infuse to access piggyback contracts with pre-negotiated vendors, while counties conduct independent competitive bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) processes.

The code shows activity centered in Florida and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC through MMCAP Infuse on August 28, 2026, for a 12-month initial term with two optional renewal years, supplying doxycycline hyclate 100mg and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg tablets. Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries; the bid deadline was July 26, 2026, with contracts carrying a two-year initial term plus one optional renewal year. Both procurements require vendors to handle shipping and delivery costs and comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements; the Seminole County procurement noted potential FEMA funding with corresponding federal compliance obligations.
