UNSPSC 51144702 Nikethamide is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice covers pharmaceutical products used in emergency response and community health interventions, specifically respiratory and circulatory stimulants and related pharmaceutical agents. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local health and emergency-management agencies procuring naloxone (an opioid-antagonist emergency medication) and drug deactivation systems as part of harm-reduction and community health initiatives. The work involves supply-chain management including unit pricing, inventory management, quarterly or scheduled deliveries to specified health facilities, compliance with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and adherence to federal regulations when procurement is FEMA-funded.

Seminole County, Florida is the primary recent buyer identified under this code, soliciting naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems through an IFB (Invitation for Bid) process posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The county requires 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. Vendors must include all shipping and delivery costs in their proposals and meet standard compliance requirements including workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance. The contract carries a two-year initial term with an optional one-year renewal and a three-month probationary termination clause. No other recent state and local opportunities under this code are present in the available data; the code shows minimal recent activity at the state and local level outside this single Seminole County procurement.
