UNSPSC 51191549 Frusemide or furosemide is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a broader range of pharmaceutical and chemical products for municipal and correctional operations than the code name suggests. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for parenteral nutrition and intravenous solutions for correctional health care, specialized industrial valves and repair services for wastewater treatment facilities, and chemical supplies such as sodium bisulfite for water pollution control operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Corrections), county agencies (Broward County, Florida), and municipal utilities (City of Meriden). The scope reflects operational needs in corrections, wastewater management, and water treatment rather than a narrow focus on a single pharmaceutical compound.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Florida, Washington, and Connecticut. The Washington State Department of Corrections issued a RFQQ for parenteral products, services, and equipment with responses due October 7, 2026, seeking multiple contractors to supply parenteral nutrition and intravenous solutions to eight correctional facilities across three regions, with set-aside goals for small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. Broward County, Florida posted a Request for Information on September 18, 2026 regarding DeZurik/APCO valves, parts, and repair services for wastewater treatment compliance, due September 29, 2026, to evaluate whether alternatives to the current sole-source provider exist. The City of Meriden issued an IFB for sodium bisulfite chemical supply for its Water Pollution Control Facility due July 29, 2026. The mix of issuing bodies and commodity types suggests this code receives periodic activity driven by specific operational requirements rather than continuous demand.
