UNSPSC 51124200: Antiarrythmic pyridines

This classification denotes substances based on a family of hexahydropyridines, substances called pyridines, that prevent or treat irregular heartbeat, disturbances of normal rhythmic heart beating, or normal operation of myocardial contraction, thus the term ANTIARRYTHMIC pyridines.

UNSPSC 51124200 Antiarrhythmic pyridines is a Class code covering pharmaceutical medications used in emergency medical response and life-support protocols. State and local governments procure these drugs primarily through fire and rescue departments and emergency medical services for use in ambulances, fire stations, and emergency treatment settings. The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation exemplifies the scope: the City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued an IFB for Advanced Life Support Medications including Labetalol, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem vials — all antiarrhythmic or vasopressor agents — required to maintain nine months or more shelf life and be delivered within ten calendar days of order. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments and city purchasing offices acting on their behalf. Contracts typically run for one year with renewal options and often include small local business enterprise set-asides or bid discounts; the Tampa solicitation carries a 5 percent SLBE bid discount not to exceed $10,000.

The City of Tampa's April 2026 solicitation in Hillsborough County, Florida represents the most recent documented activity under the code, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The procurement required vendors to supply specific unit quantities (370 Labetalol vials, 1,810 Epinephrine injections, 330 Adenosine vials, 1,020 Diltiazem vials), warrantied for 365 days against defects, with firm pricing including all freight and taxes to Tampa, Florida, and electronic bid submission through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days, with the contract term extending through three optional one-year renewals plus up to three unilateral 30-day extensions. Vendors were required to submit Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source material.
