UNSPSC 51322900: Antihyperlipidemic and hypocholesterolemic phenoxyacetates and pyrrolidines and quinolines

Antihyperlipidemic and hypocholesterolemic drugs derivatives of acetic acid which contain an hydroxy group attached to the methyl carbon.

UNSPSC 51322900 Antihyperlipidemic and hypocholesterolemic phenoxyacetates and pyrrolidines and quinolines is a Class code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal pharmaceutical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—the City of Tampa's April 2026 bid for Advanced Life Support Medications (Bid No. 26-P-00188)—solicits emergency medical supplies including Labetalol HCI, Epinephrine, Adenosine, and Diltiazem for use by Tampa Fire Rescue. These are acute-care vasopressor and cardiac-rhythm agents, not the lipid-lowering agents the code nominally describes. The solicitation is an IFB with a response deadline of April 8, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $40,000.00, structured as a one-year term with optional two-year renewals and unilateral extension rights for up to three 30-day periods. The code does not show substantial recent activity beyond this single opportunity, suggesting either light state and local procurement interest in the chemically specific agents the code names or continued misclassification of emergency pharmaceutical supply contracts within state and local procurement systems.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department is the only identified issuing body in recent records. This opportunity includes a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount for SLBE participation not to exceed $10,000, and vendors must demonstrate WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 accessibility compliance via a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) report. All medications require a minimum nine-month shelf life from acceptance, firm pricing including freight on board to Tampa, Florida, and Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards. Given the absence of additional recent opportunities under this code and the apparent misalignment between the code's chemical scope and actual emergency-supply procurement, firms should verify code assignment before pursuing similar opportunities or consider whether their product lines better align with broader emergency medical supply or pharmaceutical distribution codes within the UNSPSC hierarchy.
