UNSPSC 51285601 Azacosterol is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers pharmaceutical products and medical supplies procurement, though the code's nominal focus on azacosterol does not align with the concrete work being solicited. State and local health departments, county public health systems, and municipalities are buying naloxone, drug deactivation systems, generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, and emergency medical supplies through this code. Issuing bodies include county health departments, state health and human services commissions, municipal fire departments, and state cooperative purchasing alliances. Work solicited ranges from naloxone and safe drug deactivation system procurement to multi-source generic pharmaceuticals distributed through authorized wholesalers and emergency medical supplies for first-responder divisions.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Seminole County, Florida released IFB 60459723LAS 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 and a response deadline of July 26, 2023. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted Request for Information HHS0017013 in April 2026 to gather vendor capabilities for direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager arrangements. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department solicited medical and first aid supplies under ITB 26P00145 in March 2026 for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000, designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued RFP S1070000015802 with a March 26, 2026 response deadline to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products for distribution across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, requiring vendors to work through three authorized wholesalers and comply with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act requirements.
