UNSPSC 51413800: Vasodilator thiazoles

Vasodilator drugs made from sulfur compounds with nitrogen, based on C3H3NS.

UNSPSC 51413800 Vasodilator thiazoles is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of pharmaceutical products used in emergency medical services and health care delivery, specifically vasodilator medications and related advanced life support drugs. State and local governments purchase these medications through both direct single-entity procurements and multistate cooperative purchasing agreements. The issuing bodies include municipal fire and rescue departments (such as Tampa Fire Rescue), state health and human services commissions, and multistate cooperative purchasing alliances. Recent solicitations show demands for specific formulations including labetalol, diltiazem, adenosine, and epinephrine, typically with strict expiration-date requirements (nine months or longer from acceptance), delivery windows of ten calendar days or faster, and full compliance with FDA requirements, Good Manufacturing Practices, and OSHA Hazard Communication Standards.

Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Oregon, with the most recent procurement momentum in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department issued IFB 26P00188 on April 24, 2026, for Advanced Life Support Medications (closing April 8, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $40,000 and a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered-market designation offering a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted RFI HHS0017013 in early April 2026 to gather vendor capabilities for a Direct-to-Manufacturer Prescriptions program, signaling exploratory demand for direct manufacturer relationships outside traditional pharmacy benefit managers and wholesalers. The Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration, issued RFP S1070000015802 (due March 26, 2026) to establish multiple contracts for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed across participating state and local government facilities in Minnesota and Oregon, with pricing weighted at 75 percent and contract terms of two years for new responders.
