UNSPSC 51451900: Anthelmintic amides

Anthelmintic drugs made from organic compounds containing the -CO-NH2 radical.

UNSPSC 51451900 Anthelmintic amides is a Class code that spans pharmaceutical procurement activity, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge significantly from the narrow drug family the code nominally describes. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC on August 28, 2026, for supply of Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets—neither of which are anthelmintic amides—under an IFB process. Seminole County, Florida posted a separate IFB for procurement of 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually; Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, also outside the anthelmintic amides scope. The issuing bodies sourcing under this code include state health departments and county governments managing drug procurement through both direct and cooperative purchasing vehicles, though the specific products being acquired do not consistently align with the code's nominal pharmaceutical category.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Illinois and Florida, with the Illinois contract—valued at $2,999,999.11 over the full three-year term including renewals—representing the largest recent award. Seminole County's procurement includes quarterly delivery requirements to its Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, with an initial two-year term and optional one-year renewal. The mismatch between the code's name (Anthelmintic amides) and the actual pharmaceutical products being sourced (antibiotics, opioid antagonists, drug deactivation systems) suggests that either the code is being misapplied by procurement offices or the category scope has drifted from its original intent. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the specific pharmaceutical products being solicited in each RFP or IFB rather than relying on the code name alone.
