UNSPSC 51411800: Vasodilator amides and azepines and ergot alkaloids and ethers

This classification denotes Vasodilator drugs made from or based in part on amides, azepines, ergot alkaloids, or ethers

UNSPSC 51411800 Vasodilator amides and azepines and ergot alkaloids and ethers (Class) covers pharmaceutical procurement by state and local emergency services and public health agencies, specifically advanced life support medications supplied to fire rescue departments, emergency medical services, and related first-responder programs. The medications being procured are vasodilators, sympathomimetics, and cardiac-rhythm agents used in acute medical emergencies — including labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem — supplied in vial or injectable form with strict expiration-date requirements and rapid delivery cycles to support field operations. Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing departments acting on behalf of fire rescue and emergency services divisions; the recent activity suggests procurement is driven by operational need rather than routine supply replenishment, with contracts typically structured as one-year terms with renewal options. Vendors must meet pharmaceutical quality and compliance standards including OSHA Safety Data Sheets, federal accessibility documentation, and shelf-life warranties backed by replacement provisions for expired stock.

The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted Bid No. 26-P-00188 Advanced Life Support Medications on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 (note: deadline precedes post date, indicating the source timestamp reflects posting after closure), soliciting sealed bids for Tampa Fire Rescue's advanced life-support needs with an estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The bid requires supply of labetalol HCI 100mg vials (370 units), epinephrine 1:10,000 injections (1,810 units), adenosine 6mg vials (330 units), and diltiazem 25mg vials (1,020 units), with all materials warranted for nine months' minimum shelf life and delivery within ten calendar days. The solicitation carries a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) for SLBE participation. The contract runs one year with options to renew for two additional one-year periods, plus up to three unilateral 30-day extensions by the city. This is the only recent opportunity identified under the code.
