About UNSPSC 51272208

UNSPSC 51272208 Tiletamine hydrochloride is a Commodity code under which state and local procurement offices tag pharmaceutical purchases, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement of this specific anesthetic compound. Instead, the code appears in state and local opportunities that address broader pharmaceutical sourcing — generic multi-source medications, naloxone and drug deactivation systems, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs that may encompass compounds in this class as part of wider formulary or emergency-response acquisitions. The actual buying activity under this code spans county health departments, state health and human services agencies, and multistate cooperative purchasing groups acquiring pharmaceuticals for community health initiatives, emergency medical response, and employee health benefit programs. Work is solicited through RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs that emphasize wholesale distribution partnerships, pricing transparency, cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance, and quarterly or ongoing delivery to health facilities and networked provider locations.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2026) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida.
