UNSPSC 51122605 Niacin/simvastatin is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of pharmaceutical products than its name suggests. State and local procurement under this code actually purchases advanced life support medications and other emergency medical supplies for fire rescue, emergency medical services, and public health operations. The City of Tampa's recent solicitation for Advanced Life Support Medications (Bid No. 26-P-00188) illustrates the scope: the city requested four specific medication line items including Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem vials for Tampa Fire Rescue, with requirements for firm expiration dating, rapid delivery within ten days of order, defect warranties, and expired-material replacement protocols. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments, though the single recent opportunity in the source block does not establish a pattern across counties, special districts, or state health agencies.

The Tampa solicitation posted April 24, 2026, with a sealed-bid IFB due April 8, 2026, and a contract value of $40,000 under a one-year term with two optional one-year renewals. The City of Tampa designated the opportunity with a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered-market set-aside offering a 5 percent bid discount, not to exceed $10,000. Bidders must meet OSHA Hazard Communication Standards for Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility standards; award goes to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening. The source contains no other recent state or local opportunities under this code, making geographic or issuing-body pattern analysis impossible from available records.
