UNSPSC 51285103 Bismuth/metronidazole/tetracycline is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice spans pharmaceutical products far broader than its nominal title suggests, encompassing antibiotic tablets, naloxone, and drug deactivation systems procured by health departments and county health agencies for clinical inventory, emergency response, and community health initiatives. State and local buyers under this code include state departments of public health, county health departments, and county governments. Issuing bodies use cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the MMCAP Infuse consortium to aggregate demand and negotiate piggyback contracts with pharmaceutical vendors, reducing procurement cycle time and leveraging volume pricing across multiple jurisdictions.

Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical contract to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 valued at $2,999,999.11 over three years (12 months initial plus two renewal options) for supply of Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets in 20-count packages through an Invitation for Bid process. Seminole County, Florida solicited 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually through an IFB posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: date discrepancy in source), requiring quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford and compliance with E-Verify, drug-free workplace certification, and FEMA-related federal environmental regulations. Recent activity centers on Florida and Illinois; the geographic spread and volume of opportunities under this code remain limited based on available records.
