UNSPSC 51413300: Vasodilator prostaglandins

Vasodilator drugs made from a group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway.

UNSPSC 51413300 Vasodilator prostaglandins is a Class code covering pharmaceutical products that state and local health agencies, fire departments, and emergency medical services procure for clinical use. Recent activity shows these purchases are actually emergency and critical-care medications — not vasodilator prostaglandins specifically, but a broader range of advanced life support drugs including adrenergic agents, cardiac glycosides, and antiarrhythmic compounds used by fire rescue and EMS operations. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue, operating through the City's Purchasing Department, recently solicited sealed bids for Advanced Life Support Medications (Bid No. 26-P-00188, due April 8, 2026) requiring suppliers to deliver 370 units of Labetalol HCI 100mg vials, 1,810 units of Epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, 330 units of Adenosine 6mg vials, and 1,020 units of Diltiazem 25mg vials, with estimated contract value of $40,000.00. The solicitation carried a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount, required Safety Data Sheets compliant with OSHA standards, and specified a one-year contract term with two optional one-year renewals and three optional 30-day extensions. Delivery was required within ten calendar days of order, with a nine-month minimum expiration date on all medications at acceptance and a 365-day warranty against defects.

Geographic activity is limited in the available recent-opportunities data to Hillsborough County, Florida, where the City of Tampa is the identified issuing body. The code shows sparse recent procurement activity in the state and local space; the single available opportunity suggests that emergency medicine procurement under this code may be concentrated in municipal fire and EMS purchasing rather than spread across multiple jurisdictions or issuing-body types. Vendors should verify whether other Florida county or municipal health departments, or fire rescue services outside the Tampa area, have issued similar solicitations under this code outside the current snapshot.
