UNSPSC 51373445 Codeine/ipecac/phenylephrine/potassium/promethazine is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical formulations and controlled-substance products sourced by state and local health and correction agencies for inpatient and community health programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of parenteral pharmaceutical products — including intravenous solutions, parenteral nutrition (TPN and PPN), and naloxone — for delivery to correctional healthcare systems and public health departments. The Washington State Department of Corrections and Seminole County, Florida represent the issuing-body types active under the code: state agencies operating correctional facilities and county public health departments. Scope of work centers on rapid-delivery pharmaceutical supply chains, with contracts requiring compliance with state licensing, controlled-substance handling, NCIC clearance for personnel, and multi-million-dollar commercial and professional liability insurance. The Washington DOC contract emphasizes 24-hour turnaround for customized parenteral nutrition bags and 8-hour delivery for other parenteral products across three geographic regions; the Seminole County opportunity targets annual procurement of naloxone (1,900 units) and drug deactivation systems (800 units) with quarterly delivery cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with the Washington State Department of Corrections soliciting across eight facilities statewide (West, Central, and East regions) and Seminole County serving a Florida delivery point. The Washington DOC issued RFQ RFQQK13020 due October 7, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on September 23, 2026, and anticipates awarding up to three contractors per region under a contract term through June 30, 2030. Seminole County released IFB 60459723LAS with a due date of July 26, 2023, for two-year initial terms with one-year renewal options. Both solicitations include small-business, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business participation goals where applicable, and both require fixed pricing over specified periods and documented experience in pharmaceutical preparation, delivery, and compliance with state and federal health and safety regulations.
