UNSPSC 51284906: Methinamine/sodium salicylate

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class AM550. This VA Drug Class (AM550) classifies this compound as belonging to the group METHENAMINE SALTS ANTIMICROBIALS.

UNSPSC 51284906 Methinamine/sodium salicylate is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify pharmaceutical products, though recent solicitation activity shows limited direct procurement under this specific code. The Illinois Department of Public Health's August 2026 piggyback contract through MMCAP Infuse and Seminole County, Florida's June 2026 competitive bid reveal that state and local bodies acquire pharmaceuticals—both prescription antibiotics and emergency medical supplies such as naloxone—through established cooperative purchasing frameworks and traditional invitation-for-bid processes. These jurisdictions procure drugs for public health missions, emergency response, and community health initiatives, working through state purchasing consortia or county procurement portals and requiring vendors to meet compliance standards including drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify verification, and insurance coverage thresholds.

The recent opportunities show procurement activity concentrated in Florida and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract over three years to Chartwell Rx LLC for antibiotic supply through an IFB process (Bid Number 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392), with an initial 12-month term and renewal options; Seminole County released an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, for annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option. Neither opportunity carried formal set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, and both required vendors to assume shipping and delivery costs. The code shows sparse recent activity overall; the opportunities tagged to it involve related pharmaceutical and medical-supply products rather than methinamine/sodium salicylate specifically, suggesting the code may see limited state and local procurement under its nominal classification.
