UNSPSC 51202801 Pimecrolimus is a Commodity code that in practice covers pharmaceutical products and medical supplies procured by state and local health agencies, emergency services, and cooperative purchasing organizations for direct distribution, clinical use, and community health initiatives. Recent state and local opportunities under this code span naloxone and drug deactivation systems for emergency response, generic pharmaceuticals through wholesale channels, and medical consumables for fire department rescue operations. The issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal fire departments (City of Tampa), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple jurisdictions including Oregon). Scope varies from direct procurement of life-safety medications and emergency-response supplies to manufacturer contracting for generic pharmaceutical distribution through established wholesaler networks.

Activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and the Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities reflecting both direct-purchase and cooperative-purchasing models. Seminole County posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries, due July 26, 2023.
