UNSPSC 51286503 Narasin is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure pharmaceutical products, specifically antimicrobial and emergency-response drugs for public health and community health initiatives. Recent state and local solicitations show purchases of both routine antimicrobial inventory—such as doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets for strategic reserves—and emergency-response pharmaceuticals like naloxone for community health programs. Issuing bodies include state health departments and county health authorities, often leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MMCAP Infuse consortiums to aggregate demand and award piggyback contracts to pharmaceutical distributors. These purchases support preparedness, disease prevention, and overdose-reversal initiatives across public health systems.

Recent activity spans multiple states with documented opportunities in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC through MMCAP Infuse on August 28, 2026 (IFB 26482DPHPREPDB53392) for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, with a 12-month initial term and renewal options for years 2 and 3. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually (IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford and an initial two-year contract term plus one-year renewal option. Both opportunities required vendors to include shipping and delivery costs, comply with drug-free workplace certification and E-Verify requirements, and maintain appropriate insurance coverage.
