UNSPSC 51285300: Antibacterial nitrofurans

This classification denotes a class of agents that kill or inhibit growth of microorganisms and which structrally bear a furan ring and a nitro group, compounds called nitrofurans, thus the term NITROFURAN ANTIBACTERIALS.

UNSPSC 51285300 Antibacterial nitrofurans is a Class code that encompasses pharmaceutical products used in public health and emergency response contexts. State and local governments procure antibacterial nitrofuran compounds and related pharmaceutical supplies—including doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, and naloxone—primarily through health departments, county health agencies, and emergency management offices. Procurement vehicles include cooperative purchasing consortia (such as MMCAP Infuse) and direct competitive bidding processes. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health departments and county government agencies responsible for emergency preparedness, community health, and pharmaceutical stockpiling.

Recent activity shows Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida as active buyers. Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2.99 million piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through MMCAP Infuse to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 (Solicitation 26482DPHPREPDB53392), supplying doxycycline hyclate 100 mg and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500 mg tablets on a 12-month initial term with two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) in June 2026 for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida; the procurement required electronic bid submission and included potential FEMA funding with associated federal compliance requirements. Both jurisdictions used standard state and local procurement processes—cooperative piggyback awards and competitive sealed bids—with response dates in summer 2026.
