UNSPSC 51284910 Sulfadiazine/sulfamerazine/sulfamethazine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a broader scope of pharmaceutical and medical supply procurement than the code's nominal name suggests. State and local governments use this code to solicit generic multi-source pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, naloxone, emergency medical supplies, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment programs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county health departments, municipal fire departments, and cooperative purchasing alliances representing multiple state and local member jurisdictions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) are active repeat buyers under this code, seeking both individual drug products and broad framework agreements with manufacturers and vendors serving state agency and local government networks.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Minnesota, and Florida, with activity extending to additional states through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include Minnesota's MMCAP RFP (S1070000015802) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with a March 26, 2026 response deadline, administered across participating state and local facilities including Oregon; the Texas HHS Commission's Request for Information (HHS0017013) posted April 3, 2026 to explore direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs; Seminole County, Florida's IFB (IFB60459723LAS) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a July 26, 2023 deadline; and the City of Tampa's IFB (26P00145) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with an estimated contract value of $700,000, with bids due March 13, 2026. Cooperative purchasing mechanisms dominate the code's activity, with MMCAP and similar multi-state alliances establishing pricing frameworks and authorized wholesaler distribution channels for participating jurisdictions.
