UNSPSC 51453500: Anthelmintic thiazoles

Anthelmintic drugs made from sulfur compounds with nitrogen, based on C3H3NS.

UNSPSC 51453500 Anthelmintic thiazoles is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity captures pharmaceutical supply contracts for antimicrobial and emergency-response medications rather than the narrow anthelmintic compound class the code name suggests. State and local health departments and county public health agencies are using this code to solicit antibiotics, opioid-reversal agents, and related pharmaceutical products through piggyback awards and competitive bids. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the kinds of issuing bodies active under the code — state health departments and county health authorities procuring pharmaceuticals for public health programs and community health initiatives.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, with the most recent opportunities in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 three-year piggyback contract to Chartwell Rx LLC via MMCAP Infuse on August 28, 2026 (completed award, not an open solicitation) for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets under IFB. Seminole County, Florida released an IFB on June 30, 2026 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023; the procurement required quarterly deliveries, included all shipping costs in bidding, and specified a two-year initial term with one-year renewal option. Both opportunities involved fixed-fee pricing, electronic bid submission, and standard compliance requirements (E-Verify, drug-free workplace certification, insurance coverage).
