About UNSPSC 51285803

UNSPSC 51285803 Hexamidine diisethionate is a Commodity code for a specific pharmaceutical active ingredient, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it do not actually procure hexamidine diisethionate. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets with a total contract value of $2,999,999.11 over the initial 12-month term plus two optional renewal years. Seminole County, Florida posted a competitive bid on June 30, 2026, for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building. Neither opportunity involves the specific chemical compound identified by this UNSPSC code, indicating a classification mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being procured.

The code shows no recent state or local solicitation activity for hexamidine diisethionate itself. State procurement offices, counties, and public health departments appear to be acquiring other pharmaceutical products and medical supplies under this code designation, but those acquisitions fall outside the scope of the commodity the code nominally describes. Without current opportunities for the actual product, the code presents limited pursuit value for vendors specializing in hexamidine diisethionate.
