Controlled substance analgesic drugs made from 4-piperidinecarboxylic acid.

UNSPSC 51371800 Controlled substance analgesic isonipecotic acids is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement covers the supply of emergency-response pharmaceuticals, generic multi-source drugs, and over-the-counter products to public health and human services agencies. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county health departments, state health and human services commissions, and cooperative purchasing alliances that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The work ranges from direct procurement of naloxone kits and drug deactivation systems for emergency response and community health initiatives to larger-scale generic pharmaceutical supply contracts managed through authorized wholesaler networks.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Minnesota through distinct procurement pathways. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Solicitation IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to its Community Health Building. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an RFI (HHS0017013, April 3, 2026) to gather vendor capability information on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager and group purchasing organization channels. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered through the Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued an RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) to establish multiple contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with awarded vendors required to work through three authorized wholesalers and achieve market availability by May 15, 2026.
