UNSPSC 51342500: Antiviral nucleosides

Antiviral drugs made from purine or pyrimidine bases attached to a ribose or deoxyribose.

UNSPSC 51342500 Antiviral nucleosides is a Class code that covers pharmaceutical products procured by state and local health departments and counties for public health emergency preparedness, disease prevention, and community health initiatives. State and local governments use this code to source antiviral medications and related pharmaceutical supplies through cooperative purchasing consortia and direct competitive bidding. The issuing bodies include state health departments and county health authorities, which frequently leverage piggyback contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements to acquire these products at volume pricing. The work involves sourcing finished pharmaceutical products—tablets, injectables, and related formulations—that serve public health missions including infectious disease response and emergency preparedness.

Recent activity includes the Illinois Department of Public Health's piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract awarded to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for $2,999,999.11 over three years through the MMCAP Infuse consortium, supplying Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets via an Invitation for Bid process. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries, a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option, and potential FEMA funding. Procurement activity concentrates in Illinois and Florida. Vendors pursuing these opportunities should expect cooperative purchasing frameworks, volume-based fixed-fee pricing models, compliance with federal regulations when FEMA funding is involved, and quarterly or annual delivery schedules to designated public health facilities.
