UNSPSC 51123101 Acecainide is a Commodity code that frames pharmaceutical procurement, though the recent state and local activity tagged to this code involves broader advanced life support medication supplies rather than acecainide specifically. State and local governments use this code tier to procure emergency medical medications for fire rescue operations, emergency medical services, and hospital systems. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department on behalf of Tampa Fire Rescue represents the issuing-body mix under this code — municipal procurement offices procuring for public safety and healthcare agencies. Solicitations under this tier typically require vendors to meet strict pharmaceutical compliance standards, including expiration-date warranties (commonly nine months or longer from acceptance), OSHA Safety Data Sheet documentation, federal accessibility standards including WCAG 2.2 compliance, and firm pricing that includes shipping and applicable taxes. Contracts often carry one-year initial terms with renewal options and unilateral extension provisions available to the buying agency.

The Tampa opportunity (IFB 26P00188, response due April 8, 2026) is the primary recent signal of activity in this code space. The City of Tampa issued a sealed-bid solicitation for four medication line items totaling approximately $40,000 in estimated value, with a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The solicitation required ten-calendar-day delivery post-order and included pre-award subcontracting documentation for SLBE participation. Geographic activity under this code shows recent concentration in Florida, though broader state and local emergency services procurement spanning municipal fire departments and EMS systems likely drives demand across other states. No other recent opportunities appear in the dataset for this specific code tier.
