UNSPSC 51412101 Bendazol, a Commodity code, represents pharmaceutical products for emergency medical use that state and local governments procure to stock ambulance and fire rescue Advanced Life Support kits. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue's April 2026 sealed-bid solicitation for Advanced Life Support Medications illustrates the actual scope: vendors supply individual medication vials and injections in specified unit quantities (Labetalol, Epinephrine, Adenosine, Diltiazem) that paramedics and firefighters administer in the field. While the code name references a single compound, state and local procurement under this category pulls in a range of injectable cardiac and shock-response medications commonly stocked in emergency response vehicles. Issuing bodies include municipal fire departments, EMS authorities, and county emergency services operations that maintain their own Advanced Life Support protocols and medication inventories.

The City of Tampa represents the primary documented recent activity in the geographic footprint, with the April 2026 IFB posted for Hillsborough County, Florida delivery. The Tampa Fire Rescue procurement is a one-year contract with two optional one-year renewals (plus up to three additional 30-day extensions), estimated at $40,000, with response deadline April 8, 2026, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder within 120 days. The solicitation carries a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount (capped at $10,000) and requires vendors to warrant medications free from defects for 365 days, maintain a minimum nine-month expiration date from acceptance, and deliver within ten calendar days of order. All bids must include OSHA-compliant Safety Data Sheets and WCAG 2.2 Level AA accessibility documentation.
