UNSPSC 51401569: Midazolam hydrochloride

This classification denotes an anesthesia adjuvant, anti-anxiety agent, hypnotic, and sedative with the molecular formula C18H13ClFN3.ClH, a preparation that US FDA regulates as an active ingredient or moiety under Unique Ingredient Identifier W7TTW573JJ, chemically known as 8-chloro-6-(o-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-4h-imidazo(1,5-a)(1,4)benzodiazepine but more generally known as midazolam hydrochloride, which bears US NIH Compound Identifier 4192.

UNSPSC 51401569 Midazolam hydrochloride, a Commodity code, addresses pharmaceutical procurement by state and local health and emergency-response agencies. State and local governments procure this medication primarily through health departments, emergency management offices, and community health systems to support emergency medical services, overdose-reversal protocols, and acute-care clinical needs. The issuing bodies span county health departments and municipal emergency-management divisions, with purchasing driven by public-health initiatives and federal emergency-preparedness funding streams.

The recent activity shows minimal direct procurement of midazolam itself under this code; the single posted opportunity from Seminole County, Florida (IFB 60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) was tagged to this code but actually solicited naloxone and drug deactivation systems—a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual commodity being bought. Seminole County sought 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually through competitive bidding, with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. The procurement included E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certification, and potential FEMA funding with associated federal regulatory requirements. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; business development professionals evaluating midazolam opportunities should monitor health-department and emergency-services RFPs and cooperative-purchasing catalogs rather than rely on direct opportunities tagged to this Commodity code.
