UNSPSC 51110000: Antineoplastic agents

This classification denotes substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of new abnormal growths of tissue, called neoplasms.

UNSPSC 51110000 Antineoplastic agents is a Family code that state and local governments use to buy pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and related distribution services far beyond antineoplastic (cancer) drugs alone. Recent solicitations frame the code broadly as covering prescription pharmaceuticals across multiple therapeutic categories, controlled substances, pharmacy logistics, vending and inventory management systems, and pharmacy benefits administration. The mix of issuing bodies includes county health systems procuring long-term care pharmacy services, fire departments and EMS agencies sourcing emergency pharmaceuticals and supplies, mental health and substance-use treatment networks acquiring psychiatric medications and dispensing infrastructure, and county forensic laboratories purchasing certified drug reference standards for toxicology analysis. Dane County is a repeat buyer, soliciting both long-term care pharmacy services for Badger Prairie Health Care Center under RFP 2026RFP061PR and membership in a group purchasing organization for medical products through RFP on file. The City of Tucson Fire Department and West Texas Centers for Mental Health and Mental Retardation represent substantial volume buyers in emergency medical services and community mental health settings.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Collier County, Seminole County, Pinellas County, Palm Bay) and the Southwest (Arizona, Texas). Recent representative opportunities include Collier County's notice of intent to single source Handtevy, a mobile drug-dosage calculation and EMS protocol integration application, with contract term November 29, 2026 through November 28, 2029 (RFP PUR20975, protest deadline September 24, 2026); Dane County's RFP 2026RFP061PR for comprehensive pharmaceutical services to Badger Prairie Health Care Center with five one-year periods starting January 1, 2027, including medication delivery, dispensing, barcode scanning, and web-portal prescription management under local-vendor preference (responses due October 22, 2026); the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP 260217 for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending-machine software and services with federal funding (ARPA, HUD, FTA) and Section 3 requirements, with one-year initial term plus four City options for renewal (responses due June 24, 2026, now past); and West Texas Centers' RFP RX1001 for prescription and pharmacy services across 35 sites in 23 counties serving over 7,000 individuals, emphasizing Clozaril registry compliance, injectable medications, and Streamline EHR integration (responses due August 21, 2026, now past). The code sees consistent activity but is competing for attention against higher-profile commodity buys; procurement timelines are tight and regulatory compliance (DEA licensure, state pharmacy board standing, Medicare/Medicaid provider status, controlled-substance handling) screens vendors aggressively.
