UNSPSC 51285002 Dextrose/ticarcillin is a Commodity code that covers pharmaceutical products supplied through state and local procurement channels, though recent activity shows the code is being applied to a broader range of pharmaceutical procurements than the narrow title suggests. State and local governments purchase pharmaceutical supplies under this code through piggyback contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and competitive sealed bids; the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida have posted activity in the past few months. Issuing bodies include state health departments and county government agencies, typically sourcing both antibiotics and emergency medical supplies such as naloxone through established pharmaceutical distribution networks and cooperative purchasing consortia like MMCAP Infuse.

Illinois and Florida account for the documented recent activity. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 (Bid Number 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392) for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under an Invitation for Bid process, with a 12-month initial term and two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026 with a July 26, 2023 response deadline seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford; the procurement included FEMA compliance requirements and a three-month probationary termination clause. Neither procurement identified explicit small-business or veteran set-asides, and both required E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification.
