European Medicines Agency schedules Dichloralphenazone in its eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary or XEVMPD under Index SUB13563MIG.

UNSPSC 51361503 Dichloralphenazone is a Commodity code that captures pharmaceutical products and chemical compounds procured by state and local health agencies, though the recent solicitation activity under this code does not reflect purchases of dichloralphenazone itself. Seminole County, Florida has posted a competitive bid (IFB) for naloxone and safe drug deactivation systems—opioid-reversal medications and harm-reduction equipment rather than the hypnotic or analgesic compound the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code may be used inconsistently by some state and local procurement offices, or that the opportunity was tagged incorrectly. State and local health departments and county community health divisions appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code when activity occurs.

The recent opportunity comes from Seminole County's Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually on an IFB basis with quarterly deliveries (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023). The procurement requires vendors to submit bids through the county's e-Procurement Portal, include shipping and delivery costs in proposals, and meet E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and insurance requirements (workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and professional liability). The initial contract term is two years with an optional one-year renewal, and a three-month probationary period allows termination with or without cause. Potential FEMA funding introduces additional federal compliance obligations, including adherence to the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Beyond this single Seminole County solicitation, the source does not identify other recent state and local opportunities under this code, indicating limited current procurement activity or inconsistent code tagging in state and local procurement systems.
