About UNSPSC 51162740
UNSPSC 51162740 Tasuldine (Commodity) covers pharmaceutical products and related health-care supplies that state and local governments procure through competitive bidding and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent solicitations show state and local procurement of naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health initiatives, as well as generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter products distributed across public facilities. The issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida) and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances administered by state procurement offices (Minnesota Department of Administration). These jurisdictions use both individual competitive bids and cooperative agreements to source pharmaceutical inventory on fixed-fee or tiered-pricing bases, with quarterly or ongoing delivery schedules. Vendors must comply with federal drug-supply requirements including cGMP certification, DSCSA compliance, and FDA approval, along with standard state and local contracting obligations such as drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify employment verification, and specified insurance coverage.
Activity appears concentrated in Florida and the Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities spanning individual county procurements and multistate cooperative arrangements. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to its Community Health Building in Sanford, with a bid deadline of July 26, 2023. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, acting through MMCAP (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), posted RFP S1070000015802 on January 20, 2026, to establish multi-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities including Oregon, with proposals due March 26, 2026 and awards effective July 1, 2026.
