UNSPSC 51343000: Antiviral pyridines

Antiviral drugs made from compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing nitrogen.

UNSPSC 51343000 Antiviral pyridines, a Class code, encompasses pharmaceutical products state and local health agencies procure through warehouse and emergency-supply contracts. Recent activity shows state and local governments buying specific pharmaceutical inventory — antibiotics, naloxone, and related medications — through both piggyback cooperative purchasing agreements and competitive bidding processes. The issuing bodies include state health departments and county public health authorities, typically acquiring these products to support public health initiatives, emergency preparedness, and community health programs. Procurement vehicles include piggyback arrangements through multi-agency cooperative consortia and traditional invitation-for-bid processes at the county level.

Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for doxycycline hyclate 100mg tablets and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg tablets totaling $2,999,999.11 over 12 months plus two renewal options through the MMCAP Infuse consortium via IFB process. Seminole County, Florida solicited 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive bidding with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida; the procurement included FEMA compliance requirements and a three-month probationary termination clause. Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and Illinois, with procurement activity concentrated in state health departments and county health authorities managing inventory for emergency response and community health support.
