UNSPSC 51122501 Bretylium/dextrose is a Commodity code covering advanced life support injectable medications procured by emergency medical services and fire departments for prehospital and in-hospital emergency treatment. State and local governments buy these medications as finished pharmaceutical products—individual vials and injections ready for clinical use—rather than raw materials or compounding services. The code reflects procurement of specific dosage forms and concentrations maintained in emergency drug inventories, subject to strict expiration-date management and replacement protocols. Fire departments and emergency medical services agencies are the primary issuing bodies, typically purchasing through municipal purchasing departments that aggregate medication orders for annual supply contracts with firm pricing and fixed delivery timelines.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted an IFB (Solicitation 26P00188) on April 24, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications to supply Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with response due April 8, 2026.

The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000, and required all vendors to submit OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility documentation. This represents the only recent state or local opportunity available in the source for this code.
