UNSPSC 51283204 Tylosin is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses pharmaceutical products and medical supplies rather than the specific active ingredient implied by the code name. State and local governments procure under this code through IFBs, RFPs, and RFIs seeking naloxone, medical-grade first aid supplies, generic pharmaceuticals, and OTC products for public health departments, fire rescue divisions, and state pharmacy benefit programs. Issuing bodies include county health departments, municipal fire departments, state health and human services agencies, and cooperative purchasing alliances serving multiple jurisdictions. The Seminole County, Florida procurement (IFB 60459723LAS) sought naloxone units and safe drug deactivation systems for community health initiatives; the City of Tampa Fire Department (Bid 26-P-00145) solicited 169 line items of medical and emergency response supplies with an estimated contract value of $700,000; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (S1070000015802) issued an RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across state and local facilities in Minnesota and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (RFI HHS0017013) posted an exploratory RFI regarding direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs to inform future procurement strategy.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Minnesota, with cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple states. The Tampa Fire Department procurement imposed a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The Minnesota MMCAP RFP, due March 26, 2026, weighted price competitiveness at 75 percent of evaluation and required vendors to maintain relationships with authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen/Cencara, Cardinal Health, Morris & Dickson), comply with cGMP and DSCSA certification, carry $5 million commercial general liability and $2 million network security and privacy liability insurance, and accept a 3 percent administrative fee on all purchases. The Seminole County IFB required quarterly deliveries with all shipping costs included in vendor proposals and imposed E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification. No federal set-asides or explicit preference programs appear in these solicitations beyond Tampa's local SLBE designation.
