UNSPSC 51284801 Benzalkonium/lidocaine, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical products and medical supplies that state and local health agencies procure for emergency response, public health, and community health initiatives. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchasing of naloxone, drug deactivation systems, and other pharmaceutical inventory through cooperative purchasing vehicles and competitive bidding processes. Health departments and county public health agencies are the primary issuing bodies, typically procuring these supplies in bulk quantities for distribution to community health facilities, emergency response programs, and public health infrastructure.

Recent activity centers on 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 to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical warehouse contract through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing consortium to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 for pharmaceutical supplies totaling $2,999,999.11 over the life of the contract, including renewal periods. Both opportunities reflect state and local emphasis on emergency medical countermeasures and public health commodity procurement through established cooperative frameworks and formal competitive processes.
