UNSPSC 51284609 Ertapenem disodium is a Commodity code for a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of ertapenem itself. State and local governments soliciting under this code are sourcing other pharmaceutical products — antibiotics such as doxycycline and ciprofloxacin, as well as naloxone and drug deactivation systems — through piggyback contracts, cooperative purchasing consortia, and competitive IFB processes. The issuing bodies include state health departments and county health agencies pursuing supplies for emergency preparedness, public health response, and community health initiatives.

The most recent activity spans Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for doxycycline hyclate 100mg tablets and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg tablets under Solicitation 26482DPHPREPDB53392, with a total award of $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through an IFB process with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, for quarterly delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The code shows limited recent activity, and the opportunities recorded do not reflect direct procurement of ertapenem disodium as the code name suggests, indicating possible data-tagging misalignment or infrequent solicitation volume under this specific pharmaceutical commodity.
