UNSPSC 51281512 Verazide, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical products that state and local governments procure for public health and emergency response programs, though recent opportunities show activity centered on naloxone and drug deactivation systems rather than verazide specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county health departments and state public health agencies, procuring pharmaceuticals to support community health initiatives, emergency preparedness, and harm-reduction programs. The Illinois Department of Public Health and Seminole County, Florida represent the kinds of issuing bodies active in this space.

Recent solicitation activity centers in Florida and Illinois. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Invitation for Bid) in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries and a response deadline of July 26, 2026. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 piggyback pharmaceutical contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026, supplying doxycycline hyclate 100mg and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride 500mg tablets over a three-year term including renewal periods. Both opportunities involved fixed-fee pricing and standard compliance requirements including drug-free workplace certification and E-Verify. The Seminole County procurement included FEMA funding and explicit insurance and liability coverage mandates.
