This classification denotes a cephalosporin antibiotic with the molecular formula C18H18N2O6S, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier (SRS UNII) K3086GQJ9Z, chemically known as (6r,7r)-3-(acetoxymethyl)-8-oxo-7-(2-phenylacetamido)-5-thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-en-2-carbonsaeure but more generally known as cefaloram, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 68940.

UNSPSC 51285401 Cefaloram is a Commodity code that nominally designates a single antibiotic product, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span pharmaceutical procurement more broadly — including naloxone and drug deactivation systems, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs, medical and first-aid supplies for emergency response, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county health departments, state health and human services agencies, municipal fire departments, and cooperative purchasing alliances representing multiple state jurisdictions. The scope of work reflects a mix of emergency-response medical supplies, pharmacy benefit management and direct contracting arrangements, and bulk pharmaceutical procurement for health and safety operations. Issuing bodies range from single municipalities and counties to multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles managing statewide and multi-state pharmaceutical distribution networks.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through quarterly deliveries to its Community Health Building, with a July 26, 2026 response deadline and a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option. The City of Tampa issued ITB 26P00145 in March 2026 for 169 line items of medical and first-aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000.00, with a March 13, 2026 deadline and a one-year award period plus two optional one-year renewals, designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 on April 3, 2026 to explore vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager arrangements. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, administering the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), issued RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products with March 26, 2026 proposal deadline, serving participating state and local government facilities across Minnesota and Oregon and distributing through three authorized wholesalers.
