UNSPSC 51285004: Ceftolozane/Tazobactam

Ceftolozane/tazobactam is a combination antibiotic medication used for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections in adults. Ceftolozane is a cephalosporin antibiotic, developed for the treatment of infections with gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to conventional antibiotics. It was studied for urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.

UNSPSC 51285004 Ceftolozane/Tazobactam is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific antibiotic pharmaceutical, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct alignment with the product itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span emergency medical services (EMS) pharmaceuticals and supplies, long-term care facility pharmacy services, pharmacy benefits program network participation, naloxone and controlled substance distribution, forensic drug reference materials, and prescription pharmacy services for behavioral health organizations. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health departments, cities, special-purpose health care districts, and behavioral health service organizations. Work solicited ranges from single-source EMS software and drug-dosage calculation systems, to competitive RFPs for comprehensive long-term care pharmacy operations, to IFBs for controlled-substance distribution and naloxone procurement, to forensic laboratory drug standards meeting DEA and ISO accreditation requirements.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida, Wisconsin, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, and California. Representative solicitations include Collier County's Notice of Intent to Single Source Pediatric Emergency Standards, Inc. (Handtevy), an EMS drug-dosage calculation application with electronic patient care system integration (due September 24, 2026); Dane County's RFP for comprehensive pharmaceutical services to Badger Prairie Health Care Center, a 2027-2031 long-term care pharmacy contract with local-vendor preference and $125,000 current annual funding (due October 22, 2026); the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending-machine platform services funded through federal ARPA and HUD grants with prevailing-wage and Section 3 compliance requirements (originally due June 24, 2026); West Texas Centers' RFP for prescription and pharmacy services across 35 sites in 23 counties serving 7,000 individuals with psychiatric and neurological medication claims (due August 21, 2026); and Seminole County's IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually (due July 26, 2023). The code's recent activity reflects state and local demand for pharmacy operations, medication distribution, and related clinical supply chain services rather than procurement of the specific antibiotic product the code nominally describes.
