UNSPSC 51360000: Hypnotics

This classification denotes drugs used to induce drowsiness or sleep or to reduce psychological excitement or anxiety.

UNSPSC 51360000 Hypnotics is a Family code that encompasses medications and pharmaceutical products used in acute emergency response and community health intervention, though recent state and local solicitations show the code applied to naloxone procurement — an opioid antagonist used for overdose reversal and drug deactivation systems supporting public health initiatives. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county health departments and community health agencies managing emergency medical supply chains and drug-disposal programs. The scope reflects pharmaceutical procurement for both clinical emergency use and public-health harm-reduction activities, with vendors typically required to meet standard workplace compliance (drug-free workplace certification, E-Verify), insurance requirements (workers' compensation, commercial general liability, professional liability), and federal regulatory adherence when funding involves FEMA or similar federal sources.

Seminole County, Florida represents the documented recent activity under this code. In June 2026, Seminole County Community Health Department posted IFB60459723LAS, a competitive invitation for bid seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building at 520 West Lake Mary Boulevard, Sanford, Florida; the initial response deadline was July 26, 2023, with a two-year initial term and optional one-year renewal on a fixed-fee basis. Vendors were required to submit electronic bids through the county's e-Procurement Portal, include all shipping and delivery costs in pricing, and comply with standard insurance and workplace-eligibility verification. The solicitation reflects growing state and local investment in overdose-reversal equipment and drug-disposal infrastructure as part of community health and harm-reduction strategy.
