UNSPSC 51412000: Vasodilator azoles

Vasodilator drugs made from five membered rings containing a nitrogen atom.

UNSPSC 51412000 Vasodilator azoles, a Class code, encompasses pharmaceutical products used in emergency medical response and acute care settings, specifically vasodilating medications such as adenosine and diltiazem that state and local health and emergency services departments procure for field and hospital use. State and local governments buy these medications through competitive sealed-bid and open-market solicitations directed at pharmaceutical distributors and medical suppliers. Issuing bodies include municipal fire and emergency services departments, typically through city purchasing offices, along with county health systems and regional emergency medical services authorities. The work involves supply-chain management with strict pharmaceutical compliance requirements — expiration-date warranties (typically nine months or more from acceptance), rapid-delivery commitments (ten calendar days or less), product-liability indemnification, replacement logistics for expired stock, and full hazmat documentation under OSHA standards.

The geographic spread of recent activity reflects municipal fire-rescue departments across metropolitan areas with established procurement infrastructure. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department posted an IFB (Bid No. 26-P-00188) on April 24, 2026, with a due date of April 8, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications including labetalol, epinephrine, adenosine, and diltiazem — a $40,000 estimated-value contract for Tampa Fire Rescue with a one-year base term and options to renew twice. The bid included a 5 percent Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered-market discount, capped at $10,000, and required comprehensive pharmaceutical and accessibility documentation. Responses were due electronically through the city's OpenGov eProcurement Portal, with award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder within 120 days of bid opening.
