UNSPSC 51370000 Controlled substance analgesics is a Family code purchasing overdose-reversal medications and related harm-reduction equipment by state and local health departments and county public-health agencies. Recent solicitations show that governments under this code are buying naloxone (Narcan) in bulk quantities and safe drug deactivation systems to support community health and emergency-response initiatives, with quarterly delivery schedules and fixed-fee contracts typically spanning two years plus renewal options.

Seminole County, Florida posted the most recent opportunity on this code: an IFB (Invitation for Bid) soliciting 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually, due July 26, 2023, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. The county required electronic bid submission through its e-Procurement Portal, unit pricing for each line item, E-Verify compliance, workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance, and drug-free workplace certification. The contract carried a three-month probationary termination clause and potential FEMA funding with corresponding federal compliance obligations including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The source presents only a single recent opportunity under this code; no additional issuing bodies or geographic spread beyond Florida are identified.
