UNSPSC 51162736 Pseudoephedrine sulfate is a Commodity code that encompasses pharmaceutical products and related healthcare supplies procured by state and local health and correctional agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for parenteral pharmaceutical products and opioid-antagonist medications. The Washington State Department of Corrections issued RFQ RFQQK13020 in September 2026 seeking parenteral products, services, and equipment including parenteral nutrition solutions, intravenous solutions, and controlled substances for eight correctional facilities across the state, with response due October 7, 2026. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections and county health departments. Scope includes preparation, delivery, and monitoring support for compounded pharmaceutical products with stringent time-to-delivery requirements—parenteral nutrition bags must arrive within 24 hours of order, and other parenteral products within 8 hours for initial supply.

Geographic activity centers on Washington State and Florida, with the Washington State Department of Corrections operating the most recent substantive opportunity. The Washington RFQ anticipated multiple awards (up to three contractors per region across three operational regions) with an initial contract term running November 26, 2026 through June 30, 2030, firm pricing for the first two years, and discretionary extension rights thereafter. Bidders must hold Washington State business licensure, pass Washington State Patrol NCIC clearance for all employees, and maintain specified insurance including $1 million to $2 million limits across general liability, professional liability, automobile liability, and cyber liability coverages. The procurement encourages small business (25% aspirational), minority-owned business (10%), women-owned business (6%), and veteran-owned business (5%) participation with documented subcontractor inclusion plans. A pre-bid conference was scheduled for September 23, 2026, with questions due September 22, 2026.
