UNSPSC 51371806 Pethidine hydrochloride is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity available under it. The one recent solicitation recorded — Seminole County, Florida's IFB60459723LAS for Naloxone and Drug Deactivation Systems — targets naloxone procurement and drug disposal systems, products outside the scope of pethidine hydrochloride, a controlled opioid pharmaceutical. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the county's procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this issuing body classifies health-related pharmaceutical and medical-device procurement. The source contains no evidence of state and local buyers currently soliciting pethidine hydrochloride itself under this code.

Seminole County's IFB, posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023, seeks 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually for delivery to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. Bidders must submit electronic responses through the county's e-Procurement Portal, include all shipping and delivery costs in pricing, carry specified insurance coverage, and comply with E-Verify requirements and drug-free workplace certification. The initial contract term spans two years with an optional one-year renewal, potentially funded through FEMA with associated federal compliance obligations. This solicitation does not indicate meaningful recent activity under the pethidine hydrochloride code itself across other state and local jurisdictions.
