UNSPSC 51122301: Cardioplegic solution

This classification denotes solutions which, on administration, temporarily arrest cardiac activity, solutions typically used in heart surgery.

UNSPSC 51122301 Cardioplegic solution is a Commodity code that encompasses medications and pharmaceutical preparations used in emergency medical and surgical contexts. State and local procurement activity under this code focuses on acquiring emergency life-support medications for public safety and healthcare operations. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department, representing a municipal fire rescue service, exemplifies the typical buyer profile — public agencies procuring Advanced Life Support Medications for field paramedics and emergency responders. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city purchasing departments, county health and emergency services agencies, and municipal fire departments that maintain active emergency response capabilities. The scope of work involves sourcing pharmaceutical products with strict expiration and quality warranties, delivery timelines measured in days rather than weeks, and compliance with federal accessibility standards and OSHA hazard communication requirements.

Recent activity shows concentrated procurement in Florida, with the City of Tampa posting an IFB (Bid No. 26P00188) due April 8, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications including Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem vials for Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County. The estimated contract value was $40,000.00 with a one-year initial term and two optional one-year renewal periods. The City designated the opportunity under a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered market with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000 for certified SLBE participation. Vendors were required to submit electronic bids through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, warrant nine-month minimum expiration dates from acceptance, guarantee 365-day product warranties, arrange expired-material replacement, and include WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility documentation and OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening.
