Dolutegravir's institutional procurement footprint sits at $10.1M across 57 shipments and 6 destinations with Mozambique ($5.83M) and Zimbabwe ($3.02M) leading. Amoxicillin's footprint runs through the UNICEF Copenhagen hub at $10.8M across 716 shipments and 10 destinations. Paracetamol, albendazole, and measles vaccine round out the top tier of institutional pharmaceutical procurement signal in the warehouse.

Pick the molecule or portfolio.

A single molecule, a class (antiretrovirals, antibiotics), or the full institutional cohort. The procurement_flows table covers UNICEF, Global Fund, MoH tenders, and similar channels.

Citation-anchored brief with the destinations, the shipment cadence, and a recommended tender or WHO-PQ priority list.

Why a tender lead runs it

Size the tender market, not just the commercial.

Institutional channel sized.

Dolutegravir's $10M institutional footprint is small in absolute terms but heavy in policy weight. Most blockbusters look bigger commercially but the tender channel still drives the price floor.

Hub-routing exposed.

Denmark recurs as a destination for amoxicillin, paracetamol, albendazole. That's the UNICEF Copenhagen hub. The brief flags it so a tender team reads the destinations correctly.

WHO-PQ priority signal.

Molecules with growing institutional flow are WHO-PQ candidates. The AI agent ranks them by year-on-year institutional momentum.

Commercial vs institutional split.

Amoxicillin shows 0.71% institutional share against $415M commercial. Dolutegravir is heavier on the institutional side. Different tender plays, different price floors.

The institutional procurement universe is small in absolute USD but concentrated in policy-driven categories. Dolutegravir leads the antiretroviral signal with $10.1M across 57 shipments and 6 destinations, Mozambique ($5.8M) and Zimbabwe ($3.0M) the largest. Amoxicillin routes via UNICEF Copenhagen at $10.8M across 716 shipments. Measles vaccine sits at $3.35M (Nigeria and Afghanistan). For each of these molecules, the institutional signal sets the price floor that any commercial supplier needs to meet to remain tender-eligible.

The institutional procurement view is the tender-market sizing signal on top of the commercial trade flow. PharmaDB joins procurement_flows to molecule_country_flow, surfaces the destinations, and returns a commercial-versus-institutional split per molecule. The view is procurement_flows; the join is to the molecule catalog.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What goes into institutional procurement?+

Aggregated procurement flows visible in the public procurement_flows feed: UNICEF Supply Division, Global Fund procurement, country MoH tenders, and similar institutional channels. Commercial trade is excluded; that signal is the molecule_country_flow view.

Why does Denmark appear so often?+

Denmark is the UNICEF Copenhagen supply hub. Most antibiotic and antiparasitic flows route through it before redistribution. The brief surfaces it as a hub destination rather than a commercial endpoint.

How does institutional volume compare to commercial?+

Median institutional-versus-commercial share for blockbuster molecules sits below 1%. Categories with strong institutional weight (antiretrovirals, antibiotics, antiparasitics) can hit 10% or higher. The split is computed inline.

Is the data complete?+

The institutional channel is structurally less observable than the commercial one. The 480 rows in procurement_flows cover the major institutional flows but smaller MoH tenders are under-represented. Treat it as a directional signal, not a complete inventory.

How does WHO-PQ status fit in?+

Molecules with growing institutional flow and no current WHO-PQ are flagged as WHO-PQ priority. Holders of WHO-PQ status get a different tender-eligibility chip on the result.

How fresh is the data?+

Procurement flows refresh monthly. The catalog row carries the last-computed timestamp surfaced on every result page.
