UNSPSC 51200000: Immunomodulating drugs

This classification denotes drugs that alter the immune system or trigger an immune response and which thereby either activate or suppress the human immune system.

UNSPSC 51200000 Immunomodulating drugs is a Family code that encompasses pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health systems, emergency medical services, and public health agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span a narrow band of actual buying activity: emergency medical services pharmaceuticals and supplies (basic and advanced life support drugs), long-term care facility pharmacy services, mental health center prescription fulfillment, forensic laboratory drug reference standards, and community health opioid-response initiatives including naloxone distribution and safe drug deactivation systems. The mix of issuing bodies includes county health departments, municipal fire and EMS agencies, county mental health centers, specialty pharmacy distributors serving public facilities, and public health authorities coordinating opioid settlement spending. Dane County and Collier County appear as active buyers; Tucson Fire Department, West Texas Centers for Mental Health and Mental Retardation, Seminole County, and Pinellas County represent additional geographic spread across the public health and emergency services sectors.

Representative recent opportunities span multiple procurement types and scopes. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued a notice of intent to single-source Handtevy, a mobile drug-dosage calculation application for EMS protocols, with protest deadline September 24, 2026. Dane County released an RFP (due October 22, 2026) for comprehensive pharmaceutical services to Badger Prairie Health Care Center, a long-term care facility, with local-vendor preference awarding five bonus points to Dane County vendors and two points to adjacent counties. The City of Tucson Fire Department solicited BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending machine software (RFP due June 24, 2026, federally funded through ARPA, HUD, and FTA grants with prevailing wage and DBE participation requirements). West Texas Centers for Mental Health and Mental Retardation requested pharmacy services proposals for over 7,000 individuals across 35 sites in 23 counties (due August 21, 2026). Seminole County sought annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems through competitive bid with quarterly deliveries. Activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Arizona, Oregon, and the District of Columbia, with scattered municipal and county buyers in Wisconsin and Kentucky also visible. The code shows active procurement across emergency response, institutional care, community mental health, forensic analysis, and public health harm-reduction spending, though no pattern of consolidated regional or state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles is evident in the recent opportunities.
