UNSPSC 51372026 Levomethorphan hydrobromide is a Commodity code representing pharmaceutical active ingredients and finished pharmaceutical preparations procured by state and local health agencies. However, the single recent opportunity associated with this code shows a substantial mismatch: Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB (Invitation for Bid) for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, not levomethorphan hydrobromide. The procurement solicits approximately 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The work reflects community health and substance-abuse response initiatives rather than the opioid antagonist active pharmaceutical ingredient the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies under this code, based on available records, include county health departments and community health programs operating at the local government level.

The code shows minimal recent activity relevant to its stated scope. Seminole County, Florida represents the only documented recent opportunity, posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: the posted and due dates appear inconsistent in the source). The solicitation requires vendors to submit bids electronically, include all shipping and delivery costs in pricing, maintain drug-free workplace certification and E-Verify compliance, and carry workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and professional liability insurance. The contract is structured as an initial two-year term with an optional one-year renewal on a fixed-fee basis, with a three-month probationary period during which Seminole County may terminate without cause. The procurement does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises and may be funded through FEMA, introducing compliance requirements under the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
