UNSPSC 51162346 Benzocaine/phenylephrine/phenylpropanolamine is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure emergency response pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medical products, typically through competitive bidding or cooperative purchasing frameworks. Recent solicitations show public health agencies and multistate cooperative alliances sourcing naloxone, drug deactivation systems, and generic pharmaceuticals with specific NDC codes for distribution across health facilities and emergency response networks. Issuing bodies span county health departments, state procurement offices administering multistate cooperatives, and participating municipal and regional government entities. Vendors must meet FDA compliance, cGMP certification, Drug Supply Chain Security Act requirements, and often maintain contractual relationships with authorized pharmaceutical wholesalers; they typically supply through established distribution channels rather than direct shipment to end-user agencies.

Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries and a July 26, 2023 response deadline, while the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued RFP S1070000015802 in January 2026 establishing multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and Morris & Dickson, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and products available by July 1, 2026. Activity appears concentrated among state health procurement offices and county emergency management or public health agencies in Florida and Minnesota, with evaluation criteria heavily weighted toward price competitiveness (75 percent in the MMCAP solicitation) and administrative compliance; vendors should expect 3 percent administrative fees, performance penalties for reporting or onboarding delays, and insurance requirements including commercial general liability coverage of $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 depending on the issuing body.
