UNSPSC 51284911: Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim

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 AM650. This VA Drug Class (AM650) classifies this compound as belonging to the group SULFONAMIDE/RELATED ANTIMICROBIALS.

UNSPSC 51284911 Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no direct procurement of this antibiotic combination. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and actual work being solicited: they span emergency medical supplies (naloxone and deactivation systems), direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy program planning, medical first aid supplies for fire rescue, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through cooperative purchasing. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal pharmaceutical scope; the opportunities posted under it address broader health procurement objectives that do not center on sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim or closely related antibiotics.

The issuing bodies reflect diverse state and local government functions—Seminole County, Florida (emergency health procurement), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state pharmacy benefit strategy), the City of Tampa Fire Department (rescue medical supplies), and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (multi-jurisdictional pharmaceutical contracting for state and local members including Oregon). Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with opportunities posted between January and June 2026. A representative recent solicitation is the City of Tampa's IFB 26P00145 for medical and first aid supplies due March 13, 2026, an estimated $700,000 sheltered-market contract (5% SLBE discount available, not to exceed $10,000) supplying 169 line items of emergency response consumables to the Fire Department Rescue Division. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP S1070000015802 for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products, due March 26, 2026, establishes multi-award contracts distributed through three authorized wholesalers for participating state and local government facilities. Business development professionals should verify whether specific sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim demand exists within these broader pharmaceutical procurement vehicles or whether this code assignment reflects administrative tagging rather than substantive purchasing intent.
