UNSPSC 51372300: Controlled substance analgesic piperidines

Controlled substance analgesic drugs made from a family of hexahydropyridines.

UNSPSC 51372300 Controlled substance analgesic piperidines is a Class code covering pharmaceutical products that state and local governments procure through direct purchase agreements, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and community health initiatives. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring naloxone (an opioid antagonist commonly used in overdose response), generic multi-source pharmaceuticals, and over-the-counter products through both standalone competitive bids and multistate cooperative purchasing arrangements. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Seminole County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission), and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance serving state and local facilities across multiple states including Oregon). The scope encompasses both emergency-response pharmaceuticals and routine clinical inventory, with vendors expected to meet cGMP certification, Drug Supply Chain Security Act compliance, FDA approval, E-Verify requirements, and specified insurance coverages including workers' compensation and commercial general liability.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Seminole County's IFB60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, seeking 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries and a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: deadline date appears inconsistent with posting date in source); the Texas HHS Commission's RFI HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026, gathering market intelligence on direct-to-manufacturer prescription fulfillment models for a future formal RFP; and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance's RFP S1070000015802 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products, posted January 20, 2026, with proposals due March 26, 2026, serving state and local government facilities across participating jurisdictions. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear to be a primary channel, with MMCAP requiring distribution through three authorized wholesalers and performance penalties for non-compliance. No specific budget or award-value ranges are disclosed in the recent solicitations reviewed.
