UNSPSC 51284911 Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim is a Commodity code that in practice covers antibiotic pharmaceuticals and related drug products procured through state and local health agencies. Recent solicitations tagged under this code show state and local governments buying a broader range of pharmaceutical inventory — including naloxone, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, and drug deactivation systems — through both direct purchase and piggyback arrangements on established cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies are state departments of health and county health authorities; Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida appear in the recent record.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for $2,999,999.11 over three years (12-month initial term plus two renewal options) through the MMCAP Infuse consortium, supplying doxycycline and ciprofloxacin tablets via Invitation for Bid. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, for annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries; the bid deadline was July 26, 2023 (note: date discrepancy in source). Neither procurement specified set-aside or preference programs. The code shows limited recent activity and the connection to sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim specifically is not evident in the recent opportunities — the solicitations tag the code for related pharmaceutical inventory rather than the named antimicrobial compound itself.
