UNSPSC 51123300: Antiarrythmic azocines

This classification denotes compounds based on C7H7N or azacyclooctatetraene, called azocines, that prevent or treat irregular heartbeat, disturbances of normal rhythmic heart beating, or normal operation of myocardial contraction, thus the term ANTIARRYTHMIC AZOCINES.

UNSPSC 51123300 Antiarrhythmic azocines is a Class code covering emergency medical medications, specifically antiarrhythmic drugs supplied to fire rescue and advanced life support operations. The City of Tampa's recent solicitation illustrates the actual scope of work under this code: procurement of specific injectable cardiac medications including epinephrine, adenosine, diltiazem, and labetalol for use by Tampa Fire Rescue. State and local governments buy these medications through sealed-bid and RFP processes, typically in relatively small unit quantities (hundreds to low thousands of doses per order), with firm pricing that includes all shipping and taxes, and strict expiration-date warranties—usually nine months or longer from acceptance. Issuing bodies include municipal fire departments and emergency services divisions within city procurement offices. The medications procured under this code support emergency medical response, making the supplier relationship one of reliability and regulatory compliance rather than volume or price competition alone.

Activity under the code is concentrated in jurisdictions with established emergency medical services. The City of Tampa, Florida posted the most recent relevant solicitation—IFB 26P00188 for Advanced Life Support Medications, due April 8, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $40,000.00 and a one-year term plus two optional renewals. Tampa's solicitation included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount and required Safety Data Sheets and accessibility documentation (WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 compliance). The source shows limited recent activity across other jurisdictions; pursuit under this code is likely to be intermittent and driven by municipal fire and EMS procurement cycles rather than continuous demand.
