UNSPSC 51151600: Cholinergic blocking agents

This classification denotes drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. when cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.

UNSPSC 51151600 Cholinergic blocking agents is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement reflects the acquisition of emergency medical countermeasures and harm-reduction pharmaceuticals. Seminole County, Florida's June 2026 IFB for Naloxone and Safe Drug Deactivation Systems—seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 deactivation systems annually—illustrates the practical scope: county health departments are procuring opioid antagonists and companion disposal systems to support overdose response and substance-use community health initiatives. Issuing bodies under this code include county health departments and county procurement offices acting on behalf of public health functions, with direct delivery to county health facilities.

The code shows limited recent activity in the state and local market; only one recent opportunity is visible in the source. Seminole County, Florida, posted its IFB (IFB60459723LAS) on June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023—a date inconsistency in the source that suggests possible data reporting lag or amendment. The procurement required quarterly deliveries of naloxone and deactivation systems to 520 W. Lake Mary Blvd, Sanford, Florida, on a fixed-fee basis with an initial two-year term and optional one-year renewal. Vendors had to include all shipping and delivery costs in their bids, comply with drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability coverage. The contract may have been funded through FEMA, introducing federal compliance obligations under the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
