UNSPSC 51273300: Anaesthetics, synthesized

This classification denotes Anaesthetics composed of multiple constituents, with no dominant constituent.

UNSPSC 51273300 Anaesthetics, synthesized is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of pharmaceutical products, though recent solicitations under this code show broader scope than anaesthetics alone — encompassing naloxone, generic multi-source pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) products, and direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance / MMCAP). The work ranges from direct commodity purchases of specific naloxone units and drug deactivation systems to manufacturer-direct contracting arrangements and establishment of blanket pharmaceutical supply agreements serving multiple state and local facilities across participating jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. The Seminole County, Florida IFB 60459723LAS (posted June 30, 2026, due July 26, 2023) solicited 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the county community health building, requiring vendors to include all shipping and delivery costs and comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace certification. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI HHS0017013 (posted April 3, 2026) sought market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs and vendor capacity to negotiate pricing with self-insured employers and state agencies outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager and group purchasing organization channels. The Minnesota MMCAP RFP S1070000015802 (posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026) established multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through three authorized wholesalers, with evaluation weighted 75 percent on price competitiveness and the remainder on fixed pricing, administrative compliance, and EDI capability, requiring vendors to maintain $5 million commercial general liability and $2 million network security and professional liability coverage, with contract terms of two years for new vendors and optional extensions.
