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. State and local governments procure pharmaceutical products, medical supplies, and related services under this code — ranging from naloxone and opioid-response medications to vaccines, generic pharmaceuticals, and ancillary medical equipment and software. Recent solicitations show county health departments, municipal fire and EMS agencies, state procurement offices, and regional health authorities buying naloxone and drug deactivation systems, basic and advanced life support (BLS/ALS) pharmaceuticals and supplies, vaccine administration services, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals through competitive bids, RFPs, and cooperative purchasing agreements. Issuing bodies span Florida counties (Seminole, Collier, Pinellas), Arizona cities (Tucson), and multistate cooperative purchasing organizations serving state and local health systems. The scope reflects both direct pharmaceutical procurement and ancillary services — EMS inventory management software, vending systems, clinical administration, and forensic drug reference standards. Counties and municipal fire departments are repeat buyers, often bundling pharmaceuticals with dispensing equipment, inventory control, and technical support.

Florida and Arizona show the strongest recent activity, with additional solicitation volume in Minnesota (MMCAP multistate cooperative), Rhode Island, Arkansas, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Seminole County's ITQ for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with July 26, 2026 response deadline; the City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending systems due June 24, 2026; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP to establish contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products across participating state and local facilities, due March 26, 2026. The City of Little Rock, Arkansas issued an ITQ for medical oxygen cylinder rental to the Fire Department due February 6, 2026. Cooperative purchasing vehicles (MMCAP, state-sponsored agreements) play a significant role alongside traditional county and municipal procurement, allowing smaller jurisdictions to aggregate demand and leverage pricing across multiple agencies.
