UNSPSC 51286000: Antibacterial arsenicals

This classification denotes antibacterial compounds that bear as an integral part of their molecule arsenic or arsenic acid.

UNSPSC 51286000 Antibacterial arsenicals is a Class code that covers pharmaceutical products state and local health agencies procure for emergency response, disease prevention, and community health programs. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show purchases of specific antibacterial and antidote products — including antibiotic tablets such as Doxycycline Hyclate and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, as well as Naloxone and drug deactivation systems — supplied through both direct contracts and cooperative purchasing vehicles. State departments of health and county public health offices are the primary issuing bodies, typically buying through Invitation for Bid (IFB) or piggyback award processes. These agencies source products in volumes ranging from hundreds to thousands of units annually, with contract terms spanning 12 to 24 months plus renewal options.

Recent activity centers in Florida and Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for a total contract value of $2,999,999.11 across three years, supplying Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets through the MMCAP Infuse consortium. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB in June 2026 for procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the county community health building; that procurement included FEMA funding and required E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification. Neither opportunity applied explicit small-business or disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides.
