UNSPSC 51373458 Codeine/pseudoephedrine is a Commodity code covering pharmaceutical products that state and local health departments, emergency management offices, and cooperative purchasing alliances buy to support public health and community health initiatives. Recent solicitations under this code show procurement of naloxone, OTC products, and generic multi-source pharmaceuticals — indicating that state and local buyers use the code broadly for controlled and non-controlled pharmaceutical supplies beyond the specific compounds named in the code's title. Issuing bodies include county health departments, state procurement offices administering multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose health authorities. Vendors must typically comply with cGMP certification, FDA requirements, Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) compliance, and state-level E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements.

Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB in June 2026 (due July 26, 2026) for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries, potentially funded through FEMA with two-year initial term and one-year renewal option. The Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, administering the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) on behalf of participating state and local government facilities across multiple states including Oregon, issued an RFP due March 26, 2026 for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products through three authorized wholesalers (AmerisourceBergen/Cencora, Cardinal Health, Morris & Dickson), with awards effective July 1, 2026 and a two-year initial contract term. Recent activity centers on Florida and the Upper Midwest cooperative purchasing region; vendors should expect submission through electronic procurement portals, detailed NDC and SKU documentation, compliance with $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 insurance thresholds, and performance penalties for reporting or onboarding failures.
