UNSPSC 51362100: Hypnotic bromides

Hypnotic drugs made from salts of hydrobromic acid, HBr, with the bromine atom in the 1- oxidation state.

UNSPSC 51362100 Hypnotic bromides is a Class code that nominally covers sedative pharmaceutical products, though recent state and local solicitations under this code actually purchase naloxone emergency-response medication, safe drug deactivation systems, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals distributed through established wholesaler networks. State and local buyers under this code include county health departments, state health and human services agencies, and cooperative purchasing alliances serving multiple jurisdictions. Seminole County, Florida solicited naloxone and drug deactivation systems through competitive bidding; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a market-intelligence RFI to develop direct-to-manufacturer prescription procurement strategy; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued an RFP for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products to be supplied through three authorized wholesalers and distributed across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon.

Activity under this code centers in Florida, Texas, and the upper Midwest, with MMCAP's cooperative vehicle serving as a regional hub. Seminole County's IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida, with bidders responsible for shipping and required to hold workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and professional liability insurance; the Texas HHS RFI (HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026) gathered vendor input on direct-to-manufacturer pharmaceutical contracting without formal competitive timelines or budget disclosure; and MMCAP's RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) established multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products effective July 1, 2026, with vendors required to maintain relationships with at least two of three authorized wholesalers, hold $5 million commercial general liability and $2 million network security and professional liability coverage, and accept a 3 percent administrative fee on all contract purchases.
