UNSPSC 51123109 Epicainide, a Commodity code, encompasses emergency cardiovascular and resuscitation medications that state and local government agencies—primarily fire rescue and emergency medical services departments—procure for field deployment and hospital use. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code reflects procurement of specific injectable pharmaceutical line items including epinephrine, adenosine, labetalol, and diltiazem formulations in standardized vial and injection formats, supplied under firm-price contracts with strict expiration-date warranties and rapid delivery requirements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal fire departments and their parent procurement offices; the City of Tampa's recent bid for Advanced Life Support Medications to support Tampa Fire Rescue exemplifies the typical scope, where vendors supply multiple medication line items in specified unit quantities against minimum shelf-life requirements and same-day or next-day delivery commitments.

Recent activity in this Commodity is concentrated in Florida, as evidenced by the City of Tampa's April 2026 IFB (Solicitation 26P00188), due April 8, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 and a one-year term plus optional renewals. The Tampa solicitation required sealed bids for 370 units of Labetalol HCI 100mg vials, 1,810 units of Epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, 330 units of Adenosine 6mg vials, and 1,020 units of Diltiazem 25mg vials, with nine-month minimum expiration from acceptance and delivery within ten calendar days. The solicitation carried a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000 for SLBE participation and required vendors to furnish Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days, with the City reserving the right to cancel on ten days' notice for cause or thirty days' notice without cause.
