UNSPSC 51123207 Mexiletine is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical compounds used in emergency medical care, though the recent state and local activity under this code shows little volume in mexiletine itself. Instead, municipalities are soliciting medications under related emergency-response pharmaceuticals through competitive sealed-bid processes. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted a bid in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications (Bid No. 26-P-00188) for Tampa Fire Rescue covering labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem — standard cardiac and airway medications used in emergency medical services. This signals that state and local procurement offices tag emergency pharmaceutical supply under codes within the broader mexiletine family, though the actual line items diverge from mexiletine specifically. Issuing bodies for this commodity tier include municipal fire and rescue departments purchasing through municipal purchasing offices, with Tampa as a documented buyer of emergency medications in bulk quantities for active-response protocols.

Activity under this code centers on Florida, with Tampa's April 2026 IFB representing the most recent state and local opportunity. The Tampa bid required delivery within ten calendar days, medications with a nine-month minimum shelf life, and firm pricing inclusive of freight to Tampa; estimated contract value was $40,000 with a one-year term plus two renewal options. The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) and required vendors to provide Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. Electronic bids were due April 8, 2026, through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, with award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening.
