UNSPSC 51286300: Antibacterial piperazines

This classification denotes antibacterials composed of six-membered rings with two nitrogen atoms positioned opposite to one another, substances called piperazines.

UNSPSC 51286300 Antibacterial piperazines is a Class code that in practice covers state and local procurement of pharmaceutical products used for infection control and emergency medical response, though recent solicitations show significant scope divergence from the nominal code name. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle to Chartwell Rx LLC for supply of Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets, neither of which are piperazines. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually, also unrelated to the code's stated category. State health departments and county public health agencies drive solicitation activity under this code, typically through cooperative purchasing arrangements or competitive invitation-for-bid processes, with contract terms running 12 to 24 months and renewal options common.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with the Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida as documented recent buyers. The Illinois procurement was a completed award through an IFB process with response date of September 11, 2026, and Seminole County's IFB had a response date of July 26, 2023. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity tied to its nominal scope; the two documented opportunities represent pharmaceutical supply and emergency medical products that diverge substantially from antibacterial piperazines and suggest the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement taxonomy or that the actual purchasing pattern under this designation warrants verification before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
