UNSPSC 51392212 Piroximone is a Commodity code that appears to capture pharmaceutical products used in emergency response and community health programs, though the recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments using this code to procure naloxone and drug deactivation systems for opioid crisis intervention and harm reduction. Seminole County, Florida sourced naloxone kits and safe drug deactivation systems through competitive bidding, framing the purchase as support for community health initiatives rather than emergency medical supply procurement. The code's actual application in state and local procurement reflects a gap between its nominal pharmaceutical name and the harm-reduction and overdose-reversal products governments are actively buying under it. Issuing bodies appear limited in number based on visible recent activity, with county health departments and community health programs representing the primary buyer category at this tier.

Seminole County, Florida represents the only recent activity visible under this code. The county posted IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026 (with a response deadline of July 26, 2023) seeking annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems through competitive bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford. Vendors were required to include all shipping and delivery costs in their proposals, submit bids electronically through the county's e-Procurement Portal, and comply with E-Verify requirements and federal regulations including the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act, with potential FEMA funding involved. The initial contract term was two years with an optional one-year renewal. The sparse activity under this code suggests either low overall procurement volume for this product category in state and local markets or potential misclassification of naloxone and drug deactivation system purchases under alternative UNSPSC codes.
