This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class CV250. This VA Drug Class (CV250) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTIANGINALS.

UNSPSC 51122406 Phenobarbital/sodium nitrite (Commodity) encompasses pharmaceutical products procured by state and local public safety and health agencies, including emergency medical services. Recent activity shows state and local governments soliciting advanced life support medications—injectable drugs used in acute medical emergencies—though the specific solicitation on file does not list phenobarbital or sodium nitrite among the medications sought. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue's bid (No. 26-P-00188) solicited four ALS medications: Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem, each in specified unit quantities and potencies. Issuing bodies under this code are likely to include municipal fire and emergency services departments, county emergency medical systems, and potentially state health or medical examiner offices; the Tampa sourcing suggests municipal fire departments are active buyers. Vendors must meet firm pricing inclusive of shipping and taxes, maintain product shelf life of at least nine months from acceptance, and arrange replacement of expired stock, with comprehensive compliance documentation including OSHA Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility conformance reports.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with the City of Tampa Fire Rescue posting the April 2026 IFB for ALS medications with an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 and an April 8, 2026 response deadline. The solicitation offered a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) and awards to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of opening. The one-year contract includes two optional one-year renewals plus unilateral extension rights for three additional 30-day periods. No other recent opportunities under this Commodity code are evident in the source, suggesting limited current procurement volume or availability of recent Florida municipal EMS medication solicitations.
