About UNSPSC 51422315

UNSPSC 51422315 Prednisolone is a Commodity code tracking a specific pharmaceutical product, yet the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows a material mismatch: the only posted opportunity involves naloxone and drug deactivation systems for Seminole County, Florida, not prednisolone procurement. State and local governments do use pharmaceutical codes for prescription medications and related supplies, but this code currently reflects little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive sealed bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The bid deadline was July 26, 2023. The procurement required electronic submission through the county's e-Procurement Portal, included shipping and delivery costs in vendor proposals, and imposed standard compliance requirements including drug-free workplace certification and E-Verify verification. The contract carried an initial two-year term with a one-year renewal option and was potentially FEMA-funded, introducing federal environmental and audit compliance obligations. Given the narrow recent-opportunity record and the divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation activity, this code shows limited current market signal for state and local prednisolone procurement.
