UNSPSC 51391605 Milrinone is a Commodity code that tracks pharmaceutical products—specifically injectable cardiac medications and related drug products—procured by state and local health agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show governments acquiring naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and safe drug deactivation systems for community health programs, as well as pharmaceutical procurement through direct-to-manufacturer channels and pharmacy benefit programs. Issuing bodies include county health departments and state health and human services commissions. The work spans product procurement (unit purchases of specific medications and related supplies with quarterly or regular delivery cycles) and strategic pharmacy contracting (arrangement of direct vendor relationships to fulfill prescription and pharmaceutical supply requirements outside traditional pharmacy benefit manager channels).

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas, with Seminole County, Florida issuing a competitive IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually (IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting an RFI (HHS0017013, posted April 3, 2026) to gather vendor capabilities for implementing direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs for state pharmacy benefits. The Texas RFI represents exploratory procurement activity; the Seminole County IFB is a traditional competitive bid with a two-year initial term and one-year renewal option, fixed-fee pricing, and standard compliance requirements including E-Verify and workers' compensation insurance.
