UNSPSC 51122500: Combination antiarrhythmics

This classification denotes combination preparations for the treatment or prevention of disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart. they may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.

Typical combination antiarrhythmic constituients are bretylium, dextrose, and lidocaine.

UNSPSC 51122500 Combination antiarrhythmics is a Class code under which state and local governments procure emergency medical medications for fire rescue operations and advanced life support programs. The City of Tampa's recent IFB for Advanced Life Support Medications illustrates the scope: vendors supply specific pharmaceutical line items—antiarrhythmics such as Adenosine and Diltiazem alongside supporting agents like Epinephrine and Labetalol—in quantities tied to operational demand, subject to strict expiration-date and delivery-window requirements. These solicitations typically flow through city purchasing departments and fire rescue services, with vendors responsible for cold-chain compliance, safety documentation (OSHA SDSs), and product warranties covering defects.

The City of Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, posted IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The solicitation required sealed bids through OpenGov eProcurement and included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) for eligible local vendors. The award was to be made within 120 days to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; the contract term ran for one year with options for two additional one-year renewals plus up to three unilateral 30-day extensions. The source provides no evidence of concurrent activity under this code in other jurisdictions or states.
