UNSPSC 51122800: Antiarrythmic alcohols

This classification denotes alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group, substances called alcohols, that prevent or treat irregular heartbeat, disturbances of normal rhythmic heart beating, or normal operation of myocardial contraction, thus the term ANTIARRYTHMIC ALCOHOLS.

UNSPSC 51122800 Antiarrhythmic alcohols, a Class code, encompasses medications used in emergency medical response and acute care settings, specifically antiarrhythmic drugs administered during cardiovascular emergencies. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily municipal fire and rescue departments acquiring life-support pharmaceuticals for paramedic and emergency medical technician protocols. The scope includes branded and generic formulations of antiarrhythmic agents—such as adenosine, diltiazem, and related compounds—required to maintain inventory for field deployment and hospital transport. Issuing bodies are typically city purchasing departments acting on behalf of fire rescue services, with procurement structured as goods purchases rather than services. The materials must meet strict expiration and warranty standards, with vendors responsible for pickup and replacement before product shelf life expires.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted an IFB in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications (Solicitation 26P00188, response due April 8, 2026) to supply Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with four medication line items totaling approximately 3,530 units across the contract year, at an estimated value of $40,000. The solicitation required firm pricing inclusive of freight to Tampa, delivery within ten calendar days, and a minimum nine-month expiration window from acceptance. The contract included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000, along with standard requirements for Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days, with a one-year initial term and options for two additional one-year renewals plus up to three 30-day unilateral extensions. The source documents a single recent opportunity in Florida with no indication of broader state or regional activity under this code.
