UNSPSC 51284705 Penoctonium, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted to this code concern naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, medical and first-aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products—none of which match the nominal scope of penoctonium, an antibiotic pharmaceutical. State and local health authorities, county emergency management programs, and cooperative purchasing organizations are the active issuing bodies, but the code shows little relevant recent activity for penoctonium itself.

The four recorded opportunities span Seminole County, Florida (naloxone and drug deactivation systems procurement via IFB); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs); the City of Tampa Fire Department (medical and first-aid supplies via ITB with a $700,000 estimated value and Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside); and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026). No penoctonium-specific solicitations appear in the recent record, and the code mismatch suggests either a classification error at the time of posting or that this Commodity code does not see material procurement volume in the state and local market.
