UNSPSC 51322800: Antihyperlipidemic and hypocholesterolemic nicotinic acids

Antihyperlipidemic and hypocholesterolemic drugs 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridinecarboxylic acids, pyridine derivatives substituted with a carboxy group at the 2-, 3-, or 4-position.

UNSPSC 51322800 Antihyperlipidemic and hypocholesterolemic nicotinic acids is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans emergency medical supply procurement and broader pharmaceutical distribution programs rather than nicotinic acids specifically. State and local buyers under this code range from city fire-rescue departments to state health agencies and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Minnesota Department of Administration each represent distinct buying models—direct municipal procurement for emergency medications, state-level program development and supply-chain strategy, and cooperative purchasing across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Texas, Minnesota, Oregon (participating in MMCAP), and Florida. The City of Tampa issued IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications to supply Tampa Fire Rescue with specific line items including Labetalol, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem (estimated value $40,000, due April 8, 2026, with one-year term and renewal options), incorporating a 5 percent SLBE bid discount. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission released RFI HHS0017013 in late March 2026 (response deadline April 3, 2026) to gather vendor information on direct-to-manufacturer pharmaceutical contracting models outside traditional pharmacy benefit managers and wholesalers. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance issued RFP S1070000015802 on January 20, 2026 (due March 26, 2026), for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through three authorized wholesalers, with awards effective July 1, 2026, and a two-year initial term. The code shows active procurement by municipal, state, and cooperative purchasing entities focused on supply logistics, pricing models, and regulatory compliance (cGMP, DSCSA, FDA requirements, OSHA hazard communication standards).
