UNSPSC 51285302: Furazolidone

This classification denotes an anti-infective agent with the molecular formula C8H7N3O5, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier (SRS UNII) 5J9CPU3RE0, chemically known as 2-furanmethanimine, 5-nitro-n-(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)- but more generally known as furazolidone, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 3435. European Medicines Agency schedules Furazolidone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB07834MIG.

UNSPSC 51285302 Furazolidone, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical supply procurement by state and local governments, though recent state and local activity under this specific code does not reflect furazolidone itself. Instead, recent opportunities posted under related pharmaceutical codes show state and local health departments and county governments purchasing antimicrobial agents, opioid-reversal drugs, and ancillary public-health pharmaceuticals through competitive bidding and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, both broad-spectrum antimicrobials used in emergency preparedness and communicable-disease response. Seminole County, Florida, solicited naloxone units and drug deactivation systems for community health initiatives. State health departments and county public-health authorities are the primary issuing bodies, typically using invitation-for-bid (IFB) processes and multi-agency cooperative purchasing agreements to control pharmaceutical costs and ensure supply reliability.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Illinois, with awards and solicitations reflecting public-health and emergency-preparedness missions. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract to Chartwell Rx LLC for a 12-month initial term with two one-year renewal options under Bid Number 26-482DPH-PREPD-B-53392, posted August 28, 2026. Seminole County released IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries; the bid deadline was July 26, 2023. The furazolidone code itself shows minimal direct alignment with posted solicitations, suggesting this specific antibiotic trades at low volume in state and local procurement or is purchased as part of broader pharmaceutical supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item.
