About UNSPSC 51313120

UNSPSC 51313120 Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is a Commodity code that classifies individual pharmaceutical products, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a much broader scope — naloxone procurement, direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, and multi-source generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products. State and local health agencies, health departments, and cooperative purchasing alliances are the primary issuing bodies, with activity ranging from small county-level health initiatives to statewide multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing vehicles. The work being solicited includes annual procurement of finished pharmaceutical units for community health distribution, exploratory market intelligence gathering on alternative pharmacy benefit channels, and establishment of standing contracts with manufacturers to supply generic drugs and OTC items through authorized wholesale distributors to state and local government facilities. The scope reflects demand for direct supplier relationships, compliance with cGMP and Drug Supply Chain Security Act standards, and logistics management including quarterly or ongoing deliveries to specified health facilities.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Texas, with broader multi-state reach through cooperative purchasing. Seminole County, Florida released IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 and a two-year initial term plus one-year renewal option.
