UNSPSC 12361513 Ephedrine hydrochloride, a Commodity code, captures pharmaceutical supply procurements by state and local emergency services and health agencies, though recent opportunities tagged under this code span a broader range of EMS medical supplies, controlled substances for community health initiatives, and pharmacy benefit management services rather than ephedrine hydrochloride specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county emergency medical services departments, county community health programs, municipal fire departments, and regional health plans. The work solicited ranges from basic and advanced life support pharmaceuticals and supplies to naloxone procurement, pharmacy services management, and vendor-managed inventory systems with software platforms. Issuing bodies are predominantly county governments and municipal fire departments paired with health agencies, with at least one regional health plan (Inland Empire Health Plan in California) also active.
