About UNSPSC 51284613
UNSPSC 51284613 Meropenem trihydrate is a Commodity code covering specific pharmaceutical active ingredients and finished-form medications. The recent state and local activity tagged under this code shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope—meropenem trihydrate, a carbapenem antibiotic—and the actual procurement work recorded. The Illinois Department of Public Health contract awarded to Chartwell Rx LLC through the MMCAP Infuse consortium in August 2026 supplied Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, neither of which is meropenem. Similarly, a Seminole County, Florida IFB for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems posted in June 2026 falls outside the antimicrobial pharmaceutical class entirely. State and local health departments and county health agencies are the issuing bodies appearing in the recent record, but the products they are actually procuring do not align with meropenem trihydrate procurement patterns.
The geographic footprint spans Illinois and Florida based on these recent opportunities, but the code shows little relevant recent activity specifically targeting meropenem trihydrate. The Illinois award to Chartwell Rx LLC was a completed IFB with a total value of $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two optional renewal years, delivered through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (MMCAP Infuse). The Seminole County opportunity sought 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries, also under an IFB process with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (notably a past date, indicating the record was not current at posting). Neither opportunity represents an active procurement pathway for meropenem trihydrate specifically. Business development professionals pursuing this code should verify that recent state and local sourcing activity actually targets meropenem products before investing in qualification efforts.
