UNSPSC 51122404 Niacin/pentaerythritol tetranitrate is a Commodity code that, despite its nominal chemical name, captures state and local procurement of advanced life support medications for emergency medical services. The scope of work under this code reflects the supply of pharmaceutical products used in prehospital and emergency care settings, including vasopressors, antiarrhythmics, and other acute-care injectables. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under the code include fire departments, emergency services agencies, and municipal purchasing departments that support first-response operations. Vendors supply these medications subject to strict expiration and shelf-life requirements, typically nine months or more from acceptance, with rapid delivery turnaround — in the Tampa example, ten calendar days from order — and comprehensive compliance documentation including Safety Data Sheets and accessibility conformance reports.

The most recent sourcing activity under the code originates in Florida. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications to supply Tampa Fire Rescue, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00.

The solicitation carries a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a five percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000, and requires vendors to furnish OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility documentation. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening.
