UNSPSC 51124301 Quinacainol is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses advanced life support medications and related pharmaceutical supplies procured by state and local emergency response agencies. The recent activity under this code reflects municipal purchasing for pre-hospital care — specifically, sealed-bid procurements for injectable cardiac and hemodynamic medications used by fire-rescue services. State and local buyers under this code include city fire and rescue departments operating within county jurisdictions. The scope of work includes supply of specific medication line items in defined unit quantities, with stringent expiration-date requirements (typically nine months or more from acceptance), rapid delivery windows (ten calendar days of order receipt), and defect warranties spanning a full year. Vendors must provide Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA standards and, when applicable, accessibility documentation to federal standards.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted the most recent relevant opportunity under this code: Bid No. 26P00188 for Advanced Life Support Medications to support Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with a sealed-bid response deadline of April 8, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $40,000. That solicitation called for Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem across multiple unit quantities, firm pricing with all shipping included, and a one-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals plus unilateral extension rights for up to three 30-day periods. The City applied a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) for SLBE participation. Awards are made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening. The code shows limited recent state and local activity; this Tampa opportunity is the only documented solicitation in the current dataset.
