UNSPSC 51120000: Antiarrythmics and antianginals and cardioplegics and drugs for heart failure

This classification denotes agents that affect the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter, or blood volume.

UNSPSC 51120000 Antiarrhythmics and antianginals and cardioplegics and drugs for heart failure is a Family code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show limited alignment with its nominal scope. The code appears tagged to a diverse set of pharmaceutical and medical-supply procurements spanning emergency medical services drug management, long-term care facility pharmacy services, pharmacy benefits program networks, and forensic reference materials—most of which fall outside the specific cardiac drug categories the code name describes. Two opportunities with clear relevance to pharmaceutical distribution and supply management are Dane County's RFP for Badger Prairie Health Care Center (Dane County), due October 22, 2026, requesting comprehensive pharmacy services including daily medication delivery, barcode scanning, web portal prescription communication, and quality assurance participation for a 2027–2031 term with current annual funding of $125,000, and the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending-machine software with associated support services, due June 24, 2026 (proposals were due; the notice is posted). The Collier County Notice of Intent to Single Source Pediatric Emergency Standards, Inc. (Handtevy), a mobile app for drug-dosage calculation and EMS protocol integration, reflects a specialized use case within emergency medical services but does not involve traditional pharmaceutical procurement.

Recent state and local activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Florida (Collier County, Seminole County, Palm Bay, Clay County), Wisconsin (Dane County), Arizona (Tucson), Texas (West Texas Centers), Oregon (Washington County), Kentucky (Owensboro), California (San Mateo County), and the District of Columbia, with no geographic concentration. Issuing bodies include county governments, cities, and specialized health care districts. The source material includes several non-procurement items—the Clay County Procurement Conference (a networking event), Marion County Reverse Trade Show, and Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice—which do not represent active solicitations. Given the mismatch between the code's cardiac-focused name and the actual mix of pharmaceutical-distribution, emergency-supply, and forensic-standards procurements posted, pursue this code only when a specific opportunity is independently verified as relevant to your firm's service lines.
