UNSPSC 51413000: Vasodilator nitrates

Vasodilator drugs made from inorganic or organic salts and esters of nitric acid.

UNSPSC 51413000 Vasodilator nitrates is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement covers emergency medical medications supplied to fire rescue and emergency response services. The City of Tampa's recent IFB for Advanced Life Support Medications (Bid No. 26P00188) illustrates the scope: the solicitation called for epinephrine, adenosine, labetalol, and diltiazem — critical cardiac and hemodynamic agents used in advanced life support protocols. State and local issuing bodies under this code include municipal fire departments and rescue services that stock and deploy these medications through their paramedic and advanced life support programs. The medications must meet strict expiration and quality standards, with vendors required to warrant defect-free supply for 365 days and to manage pickup and replacement of expired stock before the nine-month shelf-life threshold. Vendors typically bear freight and delivery costs to the jurisdiction, with firm pricing locked for the contract term.

The City of Tampa posted this opportunity on April 24, 2026, with a response deadline of April 8, 2026 — a compressed timeline — and estimated contract value of $40,000. The contract runs for one year with two optional one-year renewals plus up to three additional 30-day unilateral extensions. Tampa designated the procurement with a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) sheltered market set-aside offering a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000 for SLBE participation. All vendors must supply Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standards and accessibility documentation per WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 standards. No other recent state and local opportunities under this Class code appear in the source, limiting visibility into geographic spread or other issuing bodies.
