UNSPSC 51123800: Antiarrythmic guanidines

This classification denotes iminourea derivatives based in whole or part on guanidine or CH5N3, substances called guanidines, that prevent or treat irregular heartbeat, disturbances of normal rhythmic heart beating, or normal operation of myocardial contraction, thus the term ANTIARRYTHMIC GUANIDINES.

UNSPSC 51123800 Antiarrhythmic guanidines is a Class code that describes pharmaceutical products used in emergency medical care, specifically antiarrhythmic medications administered during advanced life support protocols. State and local governments procure these drugs primarily through fire rescue departments, emergency medical services, and hospital systems for use in acute cardiac care and emergency response. The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation exemplifies the scope: the City of Tampa's Purchasing Department sought multiple doses of cardiac medications including epinephrine, adenosine, diltiazem, and labetalol—each a core antiarrhythmic or hemodynamic agent used in prehospital and hospital emergency settings. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments, county emergency services agencies, and city procurement offices acting on behalf of emergency medical operations. Vendors must meet stringent pharmaceutical supply requirements including product warranties, expiration-date guarantees, rapid fulfillment, and full compliance with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility mandates.

Geographic activity under the code centers on Florida, where the Tampa Fire Rescue advanced life support medications procurement (Solicitation 26P00188, IFB, due April 8, 2026, estimated value $40,000) represents recent and concrete demand. The Tampa opportunity required sealed bids for 370 units of labetalol, 1,810 units of epinephrine, 330 units of adenosine, and 1,020 units of diltiazem, with nine-month minimum shelf life and ten-day delivery windows. The contract carried a one-year base term with two one-year renewal options and three potential 30-day extensions, and included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000. Beyond this single recent posting, the source provides no additional state and local opportunities under this code, limiting visibility into broader geographic or jurisdictional patterns of procurement activity.
