UNSPSC 51122702 Potassium chloride/sodium bicarbonate is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical products and related medications procured by state and local health authorities, emergency medical services, and health benefit programs. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments purchasing emergency pharmaceuticals, generic prescription drugs, and over-the-counter (OTC) products through direct manufacturer relationships, cooperative purchasing agreements, and traditional competitive procurement. The issuing bodies span city fire departments and emergency medical services, state health and human services commissions, and multi-state cooperative purchasing alliances; these jurisdictions source medications for emergency response, pharmacy benefit programs, and facility-wide pharmaceutical supply chains, often with requirements for cGMP certification, DSCSA compliance, and expiration-date guarantees.

The code sees recent activity across Texas, Florida, and Minnesota, with multistate participation through cooperative purchasing mechanisms. Representative current opportunities include the City of Tampa Fire Rescue's April 2026 IFB (Solicitation 26P00188) for advanced life support medications—including epinephrine, labetalol, adenosine, and diltiazem—valued at $40,000 and reserved for Small Local Business Enterprises at a 5 percent bid discount; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's April 2026 RFI (HHS0017013) exploring direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy programs and negotiated net-pricing models; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's March 2026 RFP (S1070000015802) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products to be distributed across participating state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, requiring NDC-specific pricing, authorization through three named wholesalers, and a 3 percent administrative fee, with awards effective July 1, 2026.
