UNSPSC 51123400: Antiarrythmic azoles

This classification denotes substances composed of five-membered rings that contain a nitrogen atom, substances called azoles, that prevent or treat irregular heartbeat, disturbances of normal rhythmic heart beating, or normal operation of myocardial contraction, thus the term ANTIARRYTHMIC AZOLES.

UNSPSC 51123400 Antiarrhythmic azoles, a Class code, encompasses emergency cardiac and critical-care medications that state and local governments procure for fire rescue departments, emergency medical services, and health agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific branded and generic formulations — epinephrine, adenosine, diltiazem, and labetalol — either as direct purchases for emergency response systems or as part of broader pharmaceutical supply agreements through cooperative purchasing alliances. The code's scope reflects actual procurement of life-support medications in injectable and vial formats, ordered in quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of units, with firm pricing, expiration-date guarantees, and rapid delivery cycles typical of emergency medical supply chains.

Activity under the code spans fire departments and state health agencies. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued an IFB (Bid No. 26-P-00188) in April 2026 for Advanced Life Support Medications totaling approximately $40,000, requiring delivery within ten calendar days and nine-month minimum shelf life; the contract includes a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market 5 percent discount. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI in April 2026 exploring direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs to inform future formal solicitations. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued an RFP in January 2026 (due March 26, 2026) for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across multiple state and local facilities, effective July 1, 2026, through authorized wholesalers AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson. Geographic activity centers on Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, with cooperative purchasing extending to Oregon. Recent procurements emphasize compliance with cGMP, DSCSA, FDA requirements, OSHA Safety Data Sheets, and WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards, with contract terms typically one to two years plus optional renewals.
