UNSPSC 51340000: Antiviral drugs

This classification denotes agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of viral diseases. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

UNSPSC 51340000 Antiviral drugs is a Family code covering pharmaceutical products that state and local public health and emergency-management agencies procure to support disease prevention, treatment, and community health initiatives. The scope includes both traditional antivirals (such as doxycycline and ciprofloxacin) and harm-reduction agents (naloxone). State and local issuing bodies using this code include state departments of public health, county health departments, and county emergency-management or community-health divisions. The code appears to serve dual procurement paths: standing pharmaceutical warehouse contracts through cooperative purchasing consortia, and direct community-health supply acquisitions by county and regional entities.

Recent opportunities show activity in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026 (Solicitation 26482DPHPREPDB53392, an Invitation for Bid process) for doxycycline hyclate 100mg tablets and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg tablets with a 12-month initial term and two renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (IFB60459723LAS) posted 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 in Sanford; the response deadline was July 26, 2023. Both solicitations require vendors to manage shipping and delivery costs, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and maintain standard commercial insurance. The Illinois opportunity leveraged a pre-existing cooperative purchasing vehicle; the Seminole County procurement appears potentially FEMA-funded and subject to federal environmental compliance requirements.
